What to do about breast nodules after menopause

Patient's question:

I have been menopausal for two years. Last week during a breast screening, I was found to have breast nodules. What should I do about breast nodules after menopause?

Doctor's answer:

Multiple occurrences of breast nodules require careful observation for pain or other symptoms. A biopsy can be performed to assess the specific condition. If it significantly affects daily life or there is a possibility of malignancy, it is best to undergo surgery for treatment in a timely manner. Post-surgery, follow-up ultrasound examinations should be conducted at intervals to monitor recovery. If the pain is severe, non-steroidal oral medications can be used to promote blood circulation.
