What should be done about breast lumps in children?

Patient's question:

My daughter is only about 12 years old this year. Recently, she told me that her chest hurts a lot. She doesn't know what's wrong with it. I helped her check it carefully and found it was hard. So, I took her to the hospital for a thorough examination. How should pediatric breast lumps be treated?

Doctor's answer:

A 12-year-old child has again experienced symptoms of chest pain, with a lump. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found that there are breast lumps, which may be related to hyperplasia of the breast gland. An 11-year-old child may experience hormonal secretion after entering puberty, which may lead to the recurrence of symptoms such as breast hyperplasia and breast lumps. It is recommended to give the child more water, more vegetables and fruits, and more milk and soy products. Avoid spicy foods, and follow-up examinations can be conducted periodically.
