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 becomes unbearable, so I took time off to visit a hospital for a check-up. They said it's due to hyperplasia of breast tissue. I'm wondering, is it more likely that the breast nodules caused by hyperplasia are benign?Doctor's answer:
Based on the careful examination results of the magnetic resonance imaging, it is speculated that the majority are benign inflammatory fibroadenomas of the breast, and treatment can be combined with close observation. Surgery can be temporarily ruled out. Oral medication such as Rupixiao or Rukang can be taken, while maintaining a positive attitude. Additionally, self-examinations of the size, shape, smoothness, mobility, and changes in the local skin can be performed. Regular follow-up magnetic resonance imaging and mammography may also be considered. If no changes are observed, surgery can be avoided. Otherwise, surgical removal may be performed, or surgery may be conducted immediately. It is important to avoid long-term anxiety, as breast hyperplasia is a common gynecological condition. During medication, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
