Breast nodules are small nodules that occur in the breast and are commonly described in mammary ultrasounds, such as "low echo nodules of the breast". Sometimes people call it a "breast mass."
Breast nodules can occur unilaterally or bilaterally, individually or simultaneously.
The cause of breast nodules is not yet clear, which may be related to changes in hormone levels, genetic mutations, and environmental influences in the body.
Clinically, breast nodules are clinical manifestations of a variety of breast diseases, such as breast hyperplasia, breast fibroma, breast cancer, etc. Breast nodules can occur periodically, such as breast hyperplasia, premenstrual, and disappear after menstruation; they can also persist and gradually enlarge, such as breast cancer.
