Patient's question:
My grandmother got mastitis in her twenties and has had it for over 20 years. Usually, her breasts would occasionally ache, but she always treated it with medication and didn't take it seriously. This spring, while taking a bath, she noticed a lump in her breast. Is a lump in the breast a sign of fibrocystic breast disease?Doctor's answer:
Some patients with breast lumps, such as those with hyperplasia of the breast gland, breast tumors, or breast cancer, may experience recurrent breast lumps. It is recommended that you accompany your grandmother to the hospital for a detailed examination and symptomatic treatment. It is advised to undergo a breast ultrasound at the hospital. Additionally, patients should pay attention to their diet, avoid excessive exercise, ensure a peaceful mood, maintain a balanced diet, and get adequate rest.
