Patient's question:
These past few months, I've been experiencing breast tenderness and discomfort, and many times when I gently press with my hands, it also causes pain. As a result, I haven't been able to wear a bra during this time because it intensifies the pain. I feel very upset, so I want to ask how to deal with breast tenderness and pain?Doctor's answer:
The situation you described suggests a follow-up visit. It is recommended to undergo a thorough examination of the breast through MRI or mammography to confirm the specific cause. Based on the different causes, appropriate treatment measures should be taken. If the breast pain is quite noticeable, it is more likely to be due to fibrocystic changes. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that liver qi stagnation is related to this, so it can be considered to use herbs with the function of soothing the liver and resolving stagnation to alleviate the symptoms.
