Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:Okay, breasts often have mild pain, which gets worse during menstruation. The doctor diagnosed it as bilateral breast hyperplasia. I would like to ask the experts how to treat this bilateral breast hyperplasia most effectively? Is Chinese medicine better or Western medicine? How should bilateral breast hyperplasia be treated?
Doctor's answer:
Hyperplasia of the breast, also known as mastopathy, is a common gynecological condition that affects many women, most frequently occurring in those aged 25 to 40. The causes are often related to estrogen and its receptors in the breast, making it a non-inflammatory and non-neoplastic disease. Typically, patients experience breast tenderness that is cyclical and related to the menstrual cycle, with pain usually intensifying before menstruation and subsiding or disappearing afterward. Due to the potential risk of malignancy, regular health check-ups are recommended.For treatment, Xiaoyao Powder can be taken. If the condition does not improve, methyltestosterone (an androgen) at a dose of 5 mg can be added before menstruation, or it can be administered via intramuscular injection to see if it is effective. As a last resort, surgical treatment may be considered. Hyperplasia of the breast is an easily occurring gynecological condition.
