Patient's question:
I am 20 years old. A few weeks ago, while taking a bath, I noticed a hard lump in my breast area that moved when pressed. I mentioned it to my mom, and she told me to get a thorough examination at the hospital. The examination results showed breast hyperplasia with a lump. Do you need to have surgery?Doctor's answer:
The current medical technology is quite advanced. For your current condition, it is recommended to undergo a minimally invasive surgery to remove the lump for pathological examination to determine whether it is benign or malignant. Minimally invasive surgery has less psychological trauma. Generally, considering your age and the shape of the lump, the first consideration should be mammary hyperplasia-induced fibroadenoma. This is usually benign. If you do not want surgery, you can have a needle biopsy for a thorough pathological examination. If it is a benign fibroadenoma, surgery may not be necessary.
