Patient's question:
Last year, before my period, I experienced breast tenderness. I went to the county hospital for an ultrasound, and the doctor said I had fibrosis. He prescribed a month's worth of medication. Now, during a follow-up check-up, it has even grown a bit more. I don't know what to do?Doctor's answer:
Hyperplasia of the breast is neither a tumor nor an inflammatory condition. From a histological perspective, it is characterized by fibrosis and degenerative changes in breast tissue, closely associated with endocrine dysfunction. Hyperplasia of the breast often manifests as breast pain and palpable nodules. The primary symptoms of simple hyperplasia are related to the menstrual cycle, with breast tenderness before and after menstruation. If the symptoms are not severe, it is recommended that you avoid surgical treatment initially. The recurrence of hyperplasia significantly affects women's health, and patients should pay attention to postmenstrual follow-up, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy foods.
