How is hyperplasia of the breast treated?

Patient's question:

This month, during my menstrual period, I noticed breast tenderness. The pain was particularly pronounced on the days with heavy bleeding. After the period ended, the breast tenderness subsided. My friend mentioned it might be due to breast hyperplasia. If that's the case, how should breast hyperplasia be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, there's no need to worry too much about breast hyperplasia. If breast hyperplasia is found during a health check-up but without any clinical symptoms, it generally doesn't require treatment. The main thing is to check the size of the hyperplasia. The size itself doesn't need to be treated, as long as regular follow-up checks are done. A follow-up check should be done every three months. If there are no significant changes after the last check-up, then it can be done once a year.
