Patient's question:
My aunt was riding her bicycle and collided with a person, hitting the right breast area. There was some redness locally. At first, it wasn't particularly painful, but now the pain has slightly worsened. She went to a pharmacy and bought some Ruyixiao. After taking it, the swelling and pain improved slightly, but she noticed that her nipple was slightly inverted. She went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with traumatic fat necrosis of the breast.Doctor's answer:
Hello,1. Changes in breast skin after trauma, such as bruises, often appear as bruises in the injured area of the breast, with local skin turning red.
2. Pain in the affected breast
3. Hardness and skin adhesion. When the injury is superficial, about 70% of patients may have local skin adhered to the lump.
4. Nipple retraction. If the lump is located in the subcutaneous fat around the nipple, due to fibrosis caused by the condition, the nipple may be pulled back.
5. Inflammatory-like symptoms. Another manifestation of breast fat necrosis resembles an abscess.
6. Swollen axillary lymph nodes
