Patient's question:
My friend told me that using a cold compress on the breasts is better for fibrocystic breast disease. What is the correct method for applying a cold compress to fibrocystic breast disease?Doctor's answer:
Patients with mammary hyperplasia can alleviate symptoms through appropriate breast massage and cold therapy. A warm towel can be placed on the chest for cold therapy, or a warm towel wrapped around a hot water bottle can also be used for cold therapy. Any of these cold therapy methods can provide some relief for mammary hyperplasia. However, when applying cold therapy, it is important to ensure the temperature is not too high to prevent skin irritation or the risk of burns and blisters.
