Patient's question:
I have a lump in my breast, and it hurts whenever I touch it. Later, after a thorough examination, it was diagnosed as fibrocystic breast changes. Do I need to have surgery? What should I pay attention to in daily life?Doctor's answer:
Mild breast hyperplasia does not require surgery. Surgery, specifically a mastectomy, is only necessary if there is a possibility of malignancy, meaning it could develop into breast cancer. Additionally, women with breast hyperplasia should pay attention to preventing obesity and avoid irregular work schedules with overtime and late nights. It is important to maintain a balance between work and rest and keep an appropriate frequency of sexual activity to prevent symptoms from worsening due to endocrine disorders. Breast hyperplasia is a common gynecological condition. During medication, women should pay close attention to their self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay attention to maintaining clean external genitalia and changing underwear frequently.
