13 Little girl has a lump in her breast

Many women usually pay great attention to breast care and often go to nursing centers for massage treatments. Sometimes you may find lumps in your breasts, which are mostly caused by breast hyperplasia and can only be relieved after regular treatment. But what if a little girl has a lump in her breast? This situation is probably caused by the child's physiological development period and normal breast development. Parents do not need to worry too much.

Causes of breast lumps in little girls

1. This is still a developmental phenomenon, so just don't press too hard. If you still feel unwell, you can go to the hospital to see if there is any disease.

Guidance:

This is a common phenomenon in the growth and development of children. It is not pathological. It means that the child is in good health and breast development is early.

Second, if girls develop sexual organs before the age of 8 and boys develop sexual organs before the age of 9, it is considered precocious puberty. Sex hormone, bone age, growth hormone and other tests can be done to rule it out.

For children with precocious puberty, in addition to timely sexual health education, we must also provide good psychological care and actively take effective treatment measures. The ideal treatment for precocious puberty is to treat the cause of the disease based on a confirmed diagnosis.

3. The child's condition may be related to endocrine. Do not eat anything containing estrogen. If it grows up, you need to go to the hospital for B-ultrasound, CT, and endocrine examination. The specific situation needs to be determined according to the child's situation.

Guidance:

If it is shrinking or not changing, you can continue to observe the development. Some may disappear on their own! It is still recommended to go to the hospital in time for the child to have a brain CT and hormone endocrine routine examination to rule out organic lesions! Don't waste time.

Breast care tips

<1> Avoid binding your breasts or wearing bras that are too small or too tight, treat breast development correctly, maintain a healthy mentality and build up full self-confidence.

<2> Be sure to loosen or take off your bra before going to bed to avoid hindering your breathing and affecting the depth of your sleep. Sleeping on your side can easily put pressure on the breasts, causing bilateral asymmetry, especially when sleeping on your stomach. The pressure on both breasts can cause inverted nipples and smaller nipples. The best sleeping position is supine.

<3> Abuse of estrogen drugs. Many doctors prescribe oral or local injections of estrogen drugs to adolescent women with breast hypoplasia. A few of them will see some effect, but when the drug is discontinued, the breasts return to their original state; for most people, their endocrine hormones are normal, and the effect of the drugs is not good. However, there are side effects of varying degrees after taking the medicine, such as menstrual disorders, irregular vaginal bleeding, edema, darkening of the nipples and areola. Large doses or frequent use may also promote the growth of uterine fibroids and even induce endometrial cancer or breast cancer.

<4> Avoid external forces (especially heavy external forces) from colliding and squeezing the breasts to prevent damage to the breasts and surrounding tissues.

<5> Parents should be careful not to feed their children high-calorie foods, high-sugar foods, fried foods, and should not give their children beverages as water. Or excessive intake of nutritional supplements can prevent precocious puberty. If the breast lump does not disappear, you should go to the endocrinology department of a children's hospital for treatment.
