Patient's question:
I am only 16 years old this year. Since last month, I have been feeling breast tenderness. My mom took me to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the results showed mild hyperplasia of the breast tissue. My mom is worried that since I am still so young, it might affect me when I grow up. So, I want to ask what are the risks of having hyperplasia of the breast tissue at the age of 16?Doctor's answer:
You are 16 years old now, and you are experiencing breast tenderness. Upon careful examination, there is mild hyperplasia of the breast tissue. Since you are young, having mild hyperplasia mainly poses the risk of potentially leading to breast cancer. It is recommended that you undergo treatment with traditional Chinese medicine while also adjusting your lifestyle. In addition to your mental state, when you get married and have children in the future, you can breastfeed, which can help reduce your hyperplasia.
