Patient's question:
When taking a shower, I noticed small hard lumps on both sides of my breasts. Usually, there's no special sensation, no pain or itching. I asked a few friends, and they said it might be fibrocystic breast changes. I'm worried about it getting worse. Please ask: How can fibrocystic breast changes develop into a lesion?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is recommended to have a careful ultrasound examination. If necessary, consider undergoing infrared mammography or mammography for a thorough check. Breast hyperplasia is common in women of childbearing age and is caused by an imbalance in estrogen excretion. It can be influenced by menstruation, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. Most patients with lobular hyperplasia often experience spontaneous remission within several months to 1-2 years after onset, so treatment is generally not required. During daily life, wearing a bra can support the breasts. Oral medications such as Ruiping Xiao or Ruizengning can also be used. Be mindful not to consume royal jelly. However, it is still important to undergo regular follow-up examinations. Women over 40 with breast hyperplasia should have an annual specialized examination at the hospital, with ultrasound, infrared mammography, or mammography as needed.
