Patient's question:
I'm not married or have children yet, but recently I've been feeling a bit uncomfortable in my breasts, and they're a bit hard and sometimes painful. It's not constant pain; sometimes it's fine. I'm wondering if it could be fibrocystic breast disease. The doctor said it can be treated with physical therapy.Doctor's answer:
No need for physical therapy; if there is no obvious pain, it can be left unresolved. Breast hyperplasia is a benign fibrosis, primarily characterized by breast lumps and before and after menstruation. To prevent it, avoid overexertion, anger, staying up late, exposure to cold, and consuming spicy or irritating foods. Maintain a light diet, keep a regular schedule, and ensure sufficient deep sleep. Oral Xiaojindan or Gynostemma pentaphyllum capsules can be used for treatment. Regular follow-up breast ultrasound examinations are recommended. Based on the tongue and pulse, traditional Chinese medicine can be prescribed for comprehensive evaluation and regulation. Breast hyperplasia is an easily recurring gynecological condition. During medication, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain cleanliness.
