Patient's question:
Recently, my wife noticed that her nipples frequently secrete colorless fluid. She had an ultrasound examination at the hospital, which revealed that it was ductal dilation, but the duct walls were smooth and showed no abnormalities. How should it be treated, and is further diagnosis necessary?Doctor's answer:
Hello! It could be breast hyperplasia. Breast hyperplasia is a physiological phenomenon for women of childbearing age and does not necessarily indicate a disease. Generally, mild pain or tenderness in the breasts may occur before menstruation, and it significantly decreases or disappears after menstruation—this is physiological. If the pain is severe, it is usually due to liver qi stagnation and fluctuations in hormone levels, leading to endocrine hormone imbalance, which requires treatment. Herbal medicine regulation is often effective, such as Ruzhengning and Xiaoyao pills. It is important to maintain a regular lifestyle, adjust emotions, relax, engage in regular physical exercise, but avoid overexertion. It is recommended to have a color Doppler ultrasound check at the hospital every three to six months.
