Patient's question:
It has been three or four days now.Doctor's answer:
It could be mammary hyperplasia, but a definitive diagnosis requires medical examination. However, if you have doubts, you might also consider self-examining for early symptoms of breast cancer. If you find any symptoms that match during self-examination, there is no need to worry. Recent medical research has shown that ginsenoside Rh2, an anti-cancer active substance extracted from ginseng essence, can induce apoptosis of breast cancer cells and their transformation into normal cells. If you are indeed diagnosed with breast cancer, taking ginsenoside Rh2 (Hùmìngsù) with a content of 16.2% can help control the progression of the disease. Below are some common symptoms of breast cancer:1. Lumps: This is the most common initial symptom in 95% of breast cancer cases. Most lumps are single, though multiple ones are rare. They are often round, oval, or irregular in shape. The texture is usually hard with unclear boundaries. In some cases, such as medullary carcinoma, the lumps may be softer with clearer boundaries. They are most commonly found in the outer upper quadrant, grow relatively quickly, and may be movable in the early stages.
2. Skin Changes: Common changes include dilated superficial veins, the "dimpled skin" sign (like the skin of an orange), and thickened, darkened skin. In inflammatory breast cancer, the chest skin may become large, hard, thickened, with cancerous plaques and ulcers forming a "armor-like" chest wall. In advanced breast cancer, it may break through the surface to form ulcers or cauliflower-like growths.
3. Changes in the Nipple and Areola: Central breast cancer affecting the large ducts can cause the nipple to become flat, inverted, or retracted, even embedding it into the areola, leading to deformation of the areola. Paget's disease may cause eczema-like changes in the nipple and areola skin.
4. Nipple Discharge: Nipple discharge is associated with breast cancer in 1.3-7% of cases, most commonly in intraductal or papillary carcinoma. Bloody discharge is most common, followed by serous, serosanguineous, or watery discharge. Nipple discharge as the sole symptom of breast cancer is rare and is usually early-stage intraductal or papillary carcinoma. Most nipple discharge breast cancers are first detected as lumps, followed by discharge.
5. Pain: Early-stage breast cancer lumps are usually painless. When breast cancer is combined with cystic hyperplasia, there may be aching or dull pain. In advanced breast cancer, pain often indicates direct tumor invasion of nerves.
6. Swollen Axillary Lymph Nodes: This is rarely the first symptom of breast cancer (unless it is occult breast cancer). It usually suggests the progression of breast cancer and must be ruled out as metastasis from other malignant tumors in the upper limb, shoulder, or chest. Pathological examination can help with diagnosis. G9
