Patient's question:
My mom noticed a few hard lumps in her left breast while taking a bath a few days ago. I was very upset, so I took her to the hospital. The doctor said she had fibrocystic breast changes and prescribed some medication for her. However, she felt it didn't help much after taking it. I wanted to ask, how should one interpret the results of a mammogram for fibrocystic breast changes?Doctor's answer:
Breast hyperplasia is mainly to check how thick the breast is and how the internal echoes are disordered. If these are present, it should be considered as breast hyperplasia. Uneven echoes are also a common manifestation of breast hyperplasia. This is a breast mammogram, mainly to check the stratification results. If it is benign, then there is no problem. Usually, if there are breast fibroadenomas or breast nodules, further breast mammography can be performed.
