Patient's question:
My aunt has had fibrocystic changes in her left breast for a month and hasn't been treated. What's the reason for the arm numbness and soreness caused by the fibrocystic changes these past few days?Doctor's answer:
The patient has breast hyperplasia and has again experienced symptoms of arm numbness and weakness, which may be related to fibrosis accompanied by local inflammation, or possibly caused by cervical issues affecting the control of symptoms. It is recommended to undergo a thorough medical examination at the hospital to confirm the diagnosis before starting treatment. If the fibrosis is severe, the doctor may advise taking oral medications such as Xiaojin Wan or Ru Pi Xiao, and encouraging more outdoor activities. Adjusting physical and mental health, maintaining personal hygiene, and avoiding bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity are also important.
