Patient's question:
My breasts are a bit painful and a bit itchy. When I touch them, I can feel a lump under the chest. Is this breast hyperplasia? I'm not very clear about this. What are the dangers of breast hyperplasia? Is there a way to relieve it appropriately without needing to take medication?Doctor's answer:
Breast hyperplasia is a relatively common disease in women. It is primarily detected through manual palpation during physical examinations, although it can also be diagnosed using breast ultrasound. Treatment typically involves medications such as Ru Pi Xiao Pian or herbs that clear heat, resolve stagnation, and promote blood circulation. Pay attention to personal hygiene and try to avoid excessive stress. During treatment, avoid consuming legume-based foods, especially soy milk, and instead, increase your intake of seaweed and laver.
