What degree of breast hyperplasia requires surgery?

Patient's question:

I have pain in my breasts. I went to the hospital for an ultrasound examination. The right breast gland is about 12mm thick, and the left breast gland is about 13mm thick. The thickness of the bilateral breast glands is uneven, and the structure is disordered. In the upper inner quadrant of the right breast, there is an approximately 8mmx4mm hypoechoic mass, and in the upper outer quadrant, there is an approximately 7mmx5mm hypoechoic mass, with unclear boundaries. No obvious mass was found in the left breast in any direction. No obvious expansion of the bilateral breast ducts was observed. CDFI showed no obvious abnormal blood flow signals.
What kind of help I need: The doctor said I need to persist in taking medication, and surgery is required if it is around 10mm. I want to know if my condition is that serious. What should I pay attention to?

Doctor's answer:

In this case, the breast hyperplasia is not very prominent. Surgery can be performed, or it can be avoided. The 10 mm boundary is not absolute; it mainly depends on whether there are symptoms.
Guidance: Currently, it is believed that surgery can be performed or avoided. If the pain is severe, surgical treatment can be considered. Breast hyperplasia has little impact on the body and is not serious enough to be a significant concern for patients. In addition to medication to alleviate symptoms, patients with breast hyperplasia also need to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual activity, and reducing the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Finally, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
