Patient's question:
I always experience breast tenderness and pain during my menstrual period, along with lower back pain and soreness. These symptoms disappear after my period, but recently, a few colleagues mentioned it might be related to breast disease or hyperplasia. I feel too embarrassed to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up. I would like to ask, what are the feelings and symptoms of breast hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you are likely suffering from mastopathy, as the main symptoms of mastopathy are breast tenderness and pain that reappear before and during your menstrual period, and the pain disappears after your period ends. The likelihood of the breast experiencing inflammation again is relatively high, so it is recommended that you promptly visit a regular hospital for a breast ultrasound examination to determine if it is mastopathy. If it is mastopathy, some blood-activating and blood-stasis-reducing Chinese herbal medicines can be used for conditioning.
