Patient's question:
Hello, doctor, I am 21 years old and a female. Yesterday, while taking a bath, I noticed some tenderness and discomfort in my breasts, which felt abnormal. I am very concerned and would like to consult about what could be causing the breast tenderness. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello, breast swelling and pain are related to conditions such as mastitis and breast hyperplasia. Anxiety and anger can lead to liver qi stagnation, which may exacerbate the condition. During the menstrual period, symptoms like swelling and pain tend to ease. Medications like Xiaoyao Pills can be taken orally for treatment and care. If the condition does not improve after repeated medication, it is recommended to revisit the hospital for a follow-up examination, including a breast ultrasound. It is also important to avoid staying up late and drinking beer, as well as to prevent emotional distress.In addition, patients should develop a regular lifestyle with a good sleep schedule, adhere to treatment, maintain a light diet, and engage in aerobic exercise. This can help boost the immune system and reduce the risk of illness.
