Patient's question:
Medical Description: Discharge from the nipple was discovered unintentionally.History of Treatment and Effect: Had mammography performed. Right breast shows patchy dense shadows with uneven density. No clear mass or calcification is observed within. No lymph nodes are seen in the ipsilateral axilla. After contrast injection, the contrast fills the main lactiferous ducts and branches well, with no clear dilation or filling defect observed.
Help Needed: Want to know what to eat to control the discharge.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, if there are no lumps, it is a condition known as cystic hyperplasia of the breast. This condition is common in women of reproductive age and is caused by an imbalance in estrogen secretion. Menstruation, pregnancy, and breastfeeding can all be affected by it. This condition is classified as mild or severe. Mild cases do not require treatment and can be monitored. Pay attention to your diet: avoid grilled, fried, and puffed foods; avoid exposure to radiation; do not misuse hormones and use hormone-containing cosmetics sparingly; avoid depression and psychological stress. When choosing a bra, it should be appropriately sized and not too tight. Severe cases can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine: Lu'an Pian, Ru Pi Xiao, Xiao Yao Wan, and Ru Kang Pian are all options. It is recommended to have a thorough examination at the hospital: palpation, ultrasound, routine nipple discharge examination, and mammography if necessary.
