Patient's question:
A few days ago, my breasts were swollen and painful. I went to the hospital for a breast ultrasound. The ultrasound results showed that I have fibrocystic breast changes, along with swollen axillary lymph nodes. Seeing the results, I was very upset. I want to ask, is it serious to have fibrocystic breast changes and swollen axillary lymph nodes?Doctor's answer:
Recurring breast tenderness and swelling of the breast lymph nodes, it is generally necessary to promptly conduct examinations to confirm the underlying cause. When such lymph node enlargement occurs, it is essential to rule out the risk of breast cancer malignancy. If a breast lump reappears, a biopsy for pathological diagnosis should be performed. The lymph nodes can also undergo a biopsy for pathological diagnosis. If pathological changes occur, early treatment is necessary.
