According to experts from Suining Edward Hospital, surgery mainly examines breast shape, breast skin surface, nipple areola, breast lump and nipple discharge through visual inspection and palpation, and finally carries out lymph node examination and general examination. So what?

1, breast shape: it is necessary to check whether the appearance, size and position of the breast are symmetrical.

2. Surface condition of breast skin: check the color of breast skin for edema, rash, ulceration, superficial vein swelling, skin wrinkles and orange peel-like changes.

3, nipple areola: need to check whether the nipple is deformed, convex, retracted, sunken, eroded, falling off; Whether the areola color is abnormal, whether there is eczema-like change, etc.

4. Breast lump: Check the position, shape, size, number, texture, surface smoothness, mobility and tenderness of breast lump. Mainly through palpation. Generally speaking, bilateral multiple masses with periodic breast pain are more likely to be benign lesions; However, a single painless mass on one side may have malignant lesions.

5. nipple discharge: check whether there is nipple discharge, and check in detail whether it is self-discharge or post-extrusion discharge, unilateral or bilateral, and the characteristics of discharge.

6. Regional lymph node status and general situation: Because breast cancer is prone to axillary and supraclavicular lymph node metastasis, breast physical examination should routinely check the size, texture and activity of lymph nodes in the above areas.
