How to distinguish between breast adenoma and breast hyperplasia?

Patient's question:

This situation has persisted for some time now. Recently, I've been experiencing pain in my chest, a slightly swollen feeling, and when I touched it, it seemed like there were small lumps. Yesterday afternoon, I went to the hospital for an ultrasound, which indicated breast hyperplasia. Please ask: How can breast adenoma and breast hyperplasia be differentiated?

Doctor's answer:

In this case, if the condition spreads slowly and the lump is not large, medication can be used initially, followed by periodic follow-up examinations. Although medication cannot completely cure the condition, it is effective in suppressing its progression and relieving pain. However, it is essential to have periodic follow-up examinations, with one mammogram or ultrasound performed annually. If there is a progressive reduction or rapid growth, surgery should be considered. Currently, there are only two treatment options: removal or careful observation and follow-up.
Breast hyperplasia is a common gynecological condition. During medication, women need to pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and maintain good cleanliness. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
