Patient's question:
My good friend always says she has breast tenderness. After a check-up, the doctor said there was nothing wrong, just fibrocystic changes, and didn't prescribe any medication. A week later, the pain still persisted. She went to a different hospital for another check-up and found a lump. Why are the breast ultrasound results different at different hospitals?Doctor's answer:
You can check at a Class III-A hospital. The examination results may vary from hospital to hospital due to various reasons. For example, the clarity of the machines may differ. Additionally, the experience of the doctors can also affect the results. However, breast hyperplasia is physiological, not a disease. It's important to maintain a positive mindset, avoid tight clothing, especially during menstruation, and refrain from spicy and stimulating foods. Therefore, the examination results may not be identical across all hospitals. It is recommended to check at a reputable hospital.
