Patient's question:
I am nineteen years old and have had breast hyperplasia for two years. Do I need treatment?Doctor's answer:
1. Regular check-ups; to detect early and treat promptly.2. Adhere to medication; this condition involves severe endocrine disorders, with slow sensitivity of the affected tissues to medication, slow tumor regression, and prolonged treatment duration. Sometimes, oral medication may take six months to a year to become effective.
3. Complete surgical excision; the best treatment for localized lesions, as removing the large focal lesions often yields definite therapeutic effects. If there is a clear tendency toward malignancy or a biopsy confirms pre-cancerous lesions, a simple mastectomy should be performed for safety. Additionally, when a patient experiences galactorrhea, it is important to distinguish it from hyperprolactinemia or hypermenorrhea/galactorrhea syndrome to avoid misdiagnosis.
