Patient's question:
Hello, my wife took emergency contraception twice within a month last year. Later, she experienced breast tenderness and went to the hospital for a check-up, where it was diagnosed as a fibroid, which has been removed and subjected to a biopsy, confirming it to be benign. However, the breast that underwent surgery is still experiencing tenderness to this day.Doctor's answer:
The specific cause of breast fibroadenomas is unclear, and it is often related to elevated estrogen levels in the body, with no direct connection to the emergency contraceptive pill your partner is taking. It is recommended to visit a gynecologist for endocrine hormone testing and to adopt a combination of Chinese and Western medicine regulation. Maintaining a positive mood is also very important. After stopping the contraceptive pill for three to six months, you can prepare for pregnancy. The occurrence of breast tenderness not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a gynecological examination at the hospital, including a vaginal discharge test, to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the vulvar skin clean.
