Patient's question:
I have breast hyperplasia. Lately, one side of my breast has been aching, not sharp pain, but always a feeling of discomfort. Sometimes the pain radiates to my arm. I also had a check-up at a medium-sized hospital, and there was nothing wrong, but when touched, there are some small lumps. But why does it hurt?Doctor's answer:
Please do not worry too much, and it is recommended that you go to a authoritative hospital for diagnosis as soon as possible. The following content is for your self-examination: 1. Some early breast cancer patients may not be able to feel a clear lump in the breast, but often have local discomfort, especially postmenopausal women, who sometimes feel mild pain or discomfort on one side of the breast, or a heavy, aching sensation on one side of the shoulder and back, or even pain extending to the upper arm on that side. 2. Early breast lumps can be felt as beans, hard, and movable. Generally, there is no obvious pain, but some may experience intermittent dull pain, aching pain, or stinging pain. 3. Changes in breast shape: Visible swelling of the skin over the lump, sometimes the skin appears orange-peel-like, or even edema, discoloration, or eczema-like changes. 4. The nipple is accompanied by retraction near the center. The breast skin may have slight depression (called "inverted nipple" in medicine), nipple erosion, nipple asymmetry, or thickening and roughening of the breast skin with enlarged pores (called "orange-peel syndrome" in medicine). 5. Nipple discharge: Nipple discharge that is bloody or serous- bloody should be particularly noted for further examination. 6. Regional lymph node enlargement, with axillary lymph node enlargement being the most common. Enlargement of supraclavicular lymph nodes already indicates an advanced stage. In fact, many people with breast cancer can also lead a healthy life again. This is because they used ginseng essence extract ginsenoside Rh2 (Hupuansu, 16.2%) in adjuvant therapy. Ginsenoside Rh2 can effectively regulate the human immune system, inhibit tumor cell proliferation, and has certain preventive and therapeutic effects on malignant tumors such as breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, and glioma. It is suitable for tumor patients, severely ill patients, and the elderly and frail. G4
