Patient's question:
I usually feel a bit of breast tenderness, and the symptoms have worsened since my period started these past few days. I touched both sides, and it seems there are some lumps. My friend said this might be due to fibrocystic breast changes. Could you please advise on the best way to treat fibrocystic breast changes?Doctor's answer:
Hello, breast hyperplasia is neither inflammation nor a tumor, but rather a degenerative and progressive structural change in the breast ducts and lobules. It commonly recurs in women aged 30-50, and its onset is related to hormonal imbalance. Currently, there is no definitive and effective treatment, and the main approach is to wear a bra to support the breasts. Oral traditional Chinese medicine can alleviate breast tenderness. Since breast hyperplasia may lead to cancer, it is necessary to regularly follow up for treatment, and surgery may be required if necessary!
