Patient's question:
This situation has persisted for some time. Recently, I have been experiencing pain in my chest, a feeling of fullness, and when I touched it, it seemed there were small lumps. Yesterday afternoon, I went to the hospital for an ultrasound, which indicated breast hyperplasia. Please ask: How are breast hyperplasia nodules formed?Doctor's answer:
Hyperplastic nodules in the breast are essentially the same as breast hyperplasia, just with different terminology. If fibrosis has occurred, nodules are certain to develop. Due to the lack of a clear understanding of the mechanisms and causes of recurrent breast hyperplastic nodules, current treatment is primarily symptomatic.Hyperplastic nodules refer to the fibrosis of breast epithelial tissue and fibrous tissue. The different types and clinical manifestations of breast hyperplastic nodules are as follows:
1. Liver Qi Stagnation Type: Breast swelling and pain occur before or during menstruation, subsiding with changes in mood. Uneven, bead-like nodules of varying sizes can be palpated on one or both sides. The nodules are typically the size of green beans or form coarse, cord-like structures. They are firm but not hard, movable upon palpation, and not adherent to deep tissues. The boundaries are unclear. Symptoms include irregular menstrual cycles, excessive menstrual flow, chest tightness, belching, depression, irritability, and restlessness.
