Patient's question:
18 years old, already had breast hyperplasia, now 38 years old, it has been 20 years. But the breasts have become larger in the past two years. When touched, there are large hard lumps inside both breasts. Sometimes, when feeling agitated, I must massage under the armpits a few times to feel much better. Recently, I had an ultrasound, and I was referred to a tertiary hospital for further examination. Both breasts have nodules, and I am worried it might be breast cancer. Please, doctors, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
From your symptoms and the results of the careful examination, it is difficult to confirm whether it is breast cancer, and further careful examination is needed. It is recommended that you should go to a higher-level hospital to undergo mammography or needle biopsy, and then treat it correctly based on the examination results. Breast hyperplasia is an easily-occurring gynecological disease. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients should pay attention to maintaining external genital cleanliness and changing underwear frequently.
