Patient's question:
Doctor, I've been feeling uncomfortable with my breasts recently. I went to a hospital and they said it was fibrocystic breast changes, while 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 share similarities that can make it difficult to distinguish between them, but it is not hard to understand the differences. The former can resolve on its own, while the latter is more difficult to treat. Breast hyperplasia is not a disease but rather a normal physiological state with benign inflammation. Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in women and poses a significant threat.
