Patient's question:
My wife was diagnosed with breast hyperplasia last month. She has been taking medication for it. I'm not very familiar with this condition, but I've heard that there's a risk of breast cancer, and it's said to have a relatively high incidence rate. So, I'm very worried about my wife's condition improving. Will her disease become malignant? Which type is likely to develop into cancer?Doctor's answer:
The probability of breast hyperplasia recurring with malignant transformation is relatively low, so there is no need to be overly anxious or worried. However, it is important to actively treat the breast hyperplasia issue to prevent long-term breast duct blockage, hardening, and gradual progression into malignant inflammation. It is difficult to predict whether or not it will become cancerous or what type of cancer it might develop into. Regular follow-up examinations are necessary. In most cases, breast hyperplasia can be completely resolved or naturally resolve after treatment, so excessive anxiety is unnecessary.
