What is the reason for breast soreness and slight itching of the nipple?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please explain why my breasts are sore and my nipples are a bit itchy?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, it is generally likely to be a case of breast hyperplasia. However, it is important to promptly rule out malignant lesions. Ultrasound can confirm the diagnosis. If it is benign, some patients may experience spontaneous remission within a few months to 1–2 years after onset, and treatment is often not required. For patients with more pronounced symptoms and wider lesions, wearing a bra to support the breast, taking oral traditional Chinese medicine such as Xiaojindan or Xiaoyao San, or 5% potassium iodide can alleviate symptoms. If symptoms do not improve, surgical treatment may be necessary.
