Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I don't know what's going on recently, I have experienced breast tenderness and swelling. The breast tenderness feels like it's getting bigger. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Young women often experience breast tenderness and pain due to fibrocystic breast changes. Breast ultrasound can be used for diagnosis. Fibrocystic breast changes are a benign fibrotic condition, primarily characterized by breast lumps and tenderness before or after menstruation. To prevent this, avoid overexertion, stress, overtime work, exposure to cold, and spicy or irritating foods. Maintain a light diet, follow a regular schedule, and ensure sufficient deep sleep. Oral Xiaojindan or Gynostemma pentaphyllum capsules can be used for treatment. Regular follow-up breast ultrasound is recommended. Chinese medicine can also be prescribed based on tongue and pulse diagnosis for comprehensive regulation and treatment. It is not scary to have gynecological issues. Patients should believe they can overcome the illness. Early detection and timely treatment greatly increase the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovery.
