Patient's question:
My daughter is 8 years old. She has had lumps in both breasts for about half a year. In July, she was diagnosed with focal adenosis of the breast at Siping Maternal and Child Hospital. She was prescribed oral medication, "Xia Capsules" and an external application of "Sanjie Ruixi Cream." After taking the medication for over a month, there was no significant improvement. Tests at the Central Hospital showed no issues, and it was said to be pseudoprecocious puberty. Later, "Rukuoxiao Tablets" were added, and after taking them for a period, the lumps shrank significantly, leaving only a small amount before stopping the medication. Now, new lumps similar in size to a wine cup have appeared in both breasts.Please advise on how to handle this situation. Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
The child may be developing prematurely, so it's important to seek medical attention. The lump in the chest isn't hard; it won't be very large as he matures. This is related to developmental hormones! The lump is caused by the proliferation of breast gland tissue. After he matures, the lump will gradually disappear. There are many triggers for pediatric endocrine diseases. If the child is diagnosed with a pediatric endocrine disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in the child and maintain a balanced diet.
