Patient's question:
Doctor, I have a friend who has a very close relationship with me. Recently, she was carefully diagnosed with breast hyperplasia. Can she not eat evening primrose oil if she has breast hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
What you mentioned as evening primrose is traditional Chinese medicine, and I am not a TCM practitioner, so whether it's edible now is uncertain. However, from the perspective of Western medicine, breast hyperplasia is a very common female breast disease. Some patients may not need treatment, for example, if the hyperplasia is mild, then an annual breast ultrasound follow-up is sufficient. But if the hyperplasia is severe, some drugs can be used for symptomatic treatment.
