Patient's question:
My chest has one breast that is swollen and painful, ranging from mild to needle-like pain, which can affect the shoulder, upper limb, or upper back. Sometimes the pain is so severe that it is unbearable, so I took time off to visit a hospital for a check-up. They said it was due to hyperplasia of breast tissue. I would like to ask, is breast pain during the menstrual period a precursor to hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Your condition exhibits symptoms of mammary hyperplasia, which generally leads to breast tenderness, fibrotic nodules, and other symptoms, being most pronounced before and during menstruation as well as during ovulation. For your situation, I recommend that you pay attention to rest and relax your mind, as poor mood can exacerbate mammary hyperplasia. Mild fibrosis does not require treatment and can be improved through self-care and mood regulation. If the pain is severe, it is advisable to visit a hospital for a detailed breast ultrasound examination. Wishing you good health.For patients with mammary hyperplasia, in addition to standard treatment, it is also important to prioritize self-care. This includes paying close attention to personal hygiene, avoiding sexual activity during medication, and finally, women patients must be reminded to undergo regular follow-up examinations!
