Patient's question:
I have always been quite mindful of my health. A few days ago, I noticed several small lumps on the side of my breast. I immediately went to the hospital for a check-up. Fortunately, it was just fibrocystic breast changes, not cancer. However, I'm still quite worried. Could you please tell me what medication is good for fibrocystic breast changes?Doctor's answer:
Treating breast cystic hyperplasia, which is a benign inflammatory condition, can be effective. However, if left untreated for a long time, it may develop into malignancy. Since you are already experiencing symptoms again, it is recommended to undergo active surgical treatment. After the surgery, a pathological examination should be conducted, as this is the most reliable method to confirm the diagnosis. It can clearly determine the nature of the disease. It is advised to have a breast ultrasound or mammography at this stage, as these can largely confirm the diagnosis.Only after a clear diagnosis can effective treatment be administered. In the early stages, symptomatic treatment is primarily used, such as promoting blood circulation with potassium iodide or many traditional Chinese medicine formulations like Xiaoyao Wan. In later stages, if symptoms subside or there is suspicion of malignancy, active surgical treatment should be pursued.
