How to massage breast nodules better

Massage cannot cure breast nodules. It is recommended to choose such methods with caution and pay attention to scientific diagnosis and treatment. There are many reasons for the formation of breast nodules. Some are physiological changes, such as menstrual cycle, and some may be related to lesions, such as fibroadenomas or cystic lesions. The treatment methods and intervention focuses in different situations are also different.

Breast nodules are essentially abnormal masses of breast tissue that feel hard or irregular in shape when touched and may be accompanied by tenderness. Causes include fluctuations in hormone levels in the body, localized breast duct hyperplasia or blockage, etc. Most benign nodules have little impact on the body, but pathological nodules may pose risks and require imaging examinations such as ultrasound and mammography to clarify their nature, and if necessary, combined with pathological biopsy evaluation.

If it is clear that the breast nodules are benign, appropriate lifestyle interventions can help relieve discomfort. For example, gentle massage can help improve local blood circulation and reduce mammary duct congestion. However, special attention should be paid to the massage technique to avoid excessive force to prevent damage to subcutaneous tissue. The massage direction can be along the distribution of the mammary ducts, pushing from the areola to the outside and centripetal, and combined with hot compresses to relieve mammary duct tension. It should be performed under the guidance of professionals.

What is more important is to maintain your health in daily life. Eat a balanced diet, mainly light food, and pay special attention to reducing the intake of high-fat and high-sugar foods; maintain a good work and rest routine, avoid staying up late, and reduce mood swings; use hot compresses or warm baths to relieve breast pain and discomfort. If the symptoms do not improve after massage or new problems are found, such as the size of the nodules becoming larger or the pain becoming more severe, be sure to check and troubleshoot through regular medical channels in a timely manner.
