Patient's question:
I took two sets of medicine a year ago and haven't been treated since then. Now, the right breast hurts severely before each menstrual period.Doctor's answer:
Hello, this is one symptom of breast hyperplasia: breast pain. It is often a dull or sharp pain, which can affect one or both breasts, with one side being more common. Severe pain may make it unbearable to touch, even affecting daily life and work. The pain can radiate to the same armpit or shoulder and back; some may manifest as nipple pain or itching. Breast pain often appears or worsens several days before menstruation and significantlys or disappears after the period. The pain can also fluctuate with changes in mood, fatigue, or weather. This pain related to the menstrual cycle and emotional changes is a major clinical feature of breast hyperplasia.Advice: Pathological breast hyperplasia requires active treatment, especially for cystic hyperplasia, as it carries the potential for malignancy and should not be taken lightly. Commonly used medications in clinical practice are mostly traditional Chinese medicines, which have functions such as promoting blood circulation, resolving blood stasis, soothing the liver and regulating qi, softening and dissolving hard masses, and tonifying qi and blood.
