How should breast nodules be treated?

Patient's question:

Last September, a check-up revealed a 6mm nodule. Yesterday, I had another physical exam, and it's still the same size. I'm still worried whether I need surgery.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this does not rule out the possibility of mammary hyperplasia. It is generally caused by increased estrogen and decreased progesterone. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that mammary hyperplasia is primarily due to emotional distress, impaired normal liver qi discharge, qi stagnation, blood stasis, and phlegm coagulation, as well as unbalanced Chong and Ren meridians. It is recommended to have a breast examination at the hospital. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects the patient's health but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to have a routine examination in the gynecology department of the hospital, identify the cause, and then receive targeted treatment. Additionally, pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
