Patient's question:
These past few days, I've had breast tenderness, a slightly warm, red, and swollen feeling when touched. My husband says they've grown compared to before. He mentioned that his sister-in-law thinks this might be due to fibrocystic breast disease. However, I've read online that fibrocystic breast disease should have lumps. I'm very busy at work and don't have time to go to the hospital. Could it be fibrocystic breast disease?Doctor's answer:
From the situation you described, the main consideration is the possibility of mastitis. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly to avoid delaying the treatment. Even if you are busy at work, your health should be your top priority to ensure you can work effectively and complete tasks on time. It is advised to visit the breast surgery department for a follow-up examination and undergo a detailed breast ultrasound. Based on the examination results, targeted treatment should be administered. The specific use of medication should be implemented under the guidance of a doctor.
