Patient's question:
I've been feeling that my breasts are swollen and painful recently. It's very difficult. I'm very worried about getting breast cancer. I want to know what the breast tenderness is.Doctor's answer:
Breast swelling and pain are often noticeable and may be accompanied by lumps, which could primarily be localized and related to fibrocystic changes. This may be caused by irregular lifestyle schedules or endocrine disorders, with the majority being benign. Regular follow-up examinations are the primary method of management. Various herbal remedies that regulate Qi and alleviate pain can also be taken, but specific medications should be based on a doctor's advice.Adopt a healthier dietary pattern. Replace a low-fat, high-fiber diet with whole grains, vegetables, and legumes. Consume more vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, fish, lean meat, kelp, laver, and mixed grains, while reducing the intake of high-fat, high-sugar, and high-animal protein foods. Avoid spicy, grilled, smoked, and pickled foods.
