Patient's question:
When taking a bath, I felt several lumps of different sizes on my breasts. Both breasts have them. When pressing hard, there's a slight pain. During menstruation, the lumps don't need to be pressed, but touching them causes pain. Is this breast hyperplasia? How is breast hyperplasia treated? Do I need to have my breasts removed?Doctor's answer:
Lumps of varying sizes can be felt on the breast, which may be due to fibrocystic breast changes or fibroadenomas. It is necessary to visit the hospital for a follow-up examination to determine the condition, as different treatments are required for different cases.If it is fibrocystic breast changes, surgery is generally not needed, and oral medication is sufficient. If it is a fibroadenoma, surgery is usually required, but the breast does not need to be removed.
Fibrocystic breast changes are a common gynecological condition. During medication, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery.
