Patient's question:
19 years old, discovered about half a year ago. It doesn't hurt or bother me, so I didn't pay attention.These past few days, it's been very painful, located above the right chest, at least four centimeters in diameter.
It's round and can be moved. I'm planning to go see a doctor in a few days to find out what it is.
Doctor's answer:
The condition you described may be caused by mammary hyperplasia. Western medicine options include 5% potassium iodide. For severe pain, methyltestosterone or tamoxifen can be tried, starting orally one week before menstruation to avoid further disrupting the delicate balance of hormones in the body.You can also choose traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formulations or prescriptions under the guidance of TCM syndrome differentiation for treatment.
The occurrence of mammary hyperplasia not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a gynecological examination at a hospital to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. In daily life, pay attention to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
