Patient's question:
I have been experiencing some breast tenderness recently, and the nearby bra is also a bit painful. I mentioned this situation to my friend, and they said I might have fibrocystic breast disease. Doctor, I would like to ask if fibrocystic breast disease requires surgical treatment? Are there any better treatment methods?Doctor's answer:
If the same situation occurs again, you can decide to base your treatment on conservative methods and choose to use some traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) or prepared Chinese herbal medicine. Prepared Chinese herbal medicine includes options like Xiao Yao Wan, among others. Alternatively, you can opt for some traditional Chinese herbs. In this case, you can visit a hospital and consult a TCM practitioner who can determine the appropriate TCM treatments based on your specific condition. I believe there is no need for surgery at this time. Of course, you should still undergo regular follow-up examinations.
