Patient's question:
While I was taking a shower, I noticed a hard lump in my breast. I want to go to the hospital for a breast ultrasound to check it. Which department should I register under for a breast ultrasound?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if a lump reappears in the breast, it is commonly associated with conditions such as hyperplasia of the breast or fibroadenoma. In such cases, it is recommended to visit a regular hospital's breast surgery department or gynecology department for follow-up. Detailed examinations such as color Doppler ultrasound or mammography should be performed. Based on the patient's symptoms and the doctor's physical examination, a diagnosis can be made. If it is hyperplasia, oral Chinese and Western medicine can be used for treatment. If it is a fibroadenoma, surgical removal is recommended.
