Patient's question:
I was quite sore in my breasts a while ago, and I felt hard lumps inside. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The examination revealed fibrocystic changes, which weren't particularly large. The doctor prescribed medication for me, but during the period I was taking it, it seemed to shrink. How large does a fibrocystic nodule need to be for surgery?Doctor's answer:
Generally, if you have conditions like breast hyperplasia, surgical treatment is not necessary. This is essentially a secondary growth and development of the breast, primarily due to excessively high estrogen levels in the body, leading to benign fibrosis. Medication can be used to control it. However, if you have breast nodules, this requires treatment based on the size of the breast nodule. Generally, if it is no more than one centimeter, surgery is not needed.
