Patient's question:
Doctor, I've been feeling uncomfortable with my breasts recently. I went to a hospital where they said it was fibrocystic breast changes, and another hospital said it was breast cancer. This has left me very confused. I've looked up information, but I still don't quite understand. I want to know the difference between fibrocystic breast changes and breast cancer?Doctor's answer:
According to the information provided by the patient and the patient's description of their condition, breast hyperplasia and breast cancer may share similarities that can make it difficult to distinguish between them, but it is not hard to understand the differences. The former can often resolve on its own, while the latter is more challenging to treat. Breast hyperplasia is not a disease but rather a normal physiological state characterized by benign inflammation. Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in women and poses a significant threat.
