Patient's question:
Doctor, I would like to consult a few things. I am in my 20s, and I have been experiencing breast tenderness before my period. I suspect it might be breast hyperplasia. I have never had this situation before, especially in the past three months, the pain has been constant. Moreover, I have noticed a significant lump recently, and I suspect it might be a breast-related disease. So, I would like to consult a few things about what I should do.Doctor's answer:
If you only experience breast tenderness before your menstrual period, and the tenderness disappears after your period ends, this is considered a normal phenomenon and is not indicative of breast hyperplasia. If you also have breast tenderness on a regular basis, I recommend you have a breast ultrasound performed to check for any signs of breast hyperplasia. It is essential to avoid squeezing your breasts and to refrain from consuming foods high in estrogen. Pay attention to your dietary habits and include more vegetables and easily digestible foods in your diet. Strengthen your body and enhance your immune system.
