Patient's question:
I have had breast hyperplasia for over ten years. Recently, I felt a lump in my right breast, and it hurts when touched. Last month, I had a blood test, and the carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level was 1.05, which is within the normal range. Is it a nodule? Could it continue to progress into cancer?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, a limited mass accompanied by pain, symptoms alone cannot be diagnosed as breast cancer. It is recommended to undergo a detailed breast ultrasound and mammography, followed by a needle biopsy and pathological confirmation. Based on the pathological confirmation results, a surgical or medication treatment plan can be formulated. In some cases, it may be self-limiting. It is advised to undergo further examination. The recurrence of breast hyperplasia poses a serious threat to women's health. Patients should pay attention to treatment during their lives and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, personal hygiene should be maintained.
