Patient's question:
Medical Description: My girlfriend is 22 years old. Since the beginning of her breast development, she has occasionally experienced mild breast tenderness (often during her menstrual period). The pain is not severe, and her breasts feel soft to the touch, with a hard lump appearing between them! Treatment history and effectiveness: She has not received any treatment. Desired help: I hope the doctor can help me analyze whether this is a normal phenomenon.Doctor's answer:
Hello. Due to hormonal changes in the body before menstruation, symptoms such as breast tenderness and itching may occur. If these symptoms disappear after the menstrual period, there is generally no need to worry, as it is considered a normal phenomenon. However, if the tenderness is severe or if breast tenderness occurs at other times, there may be issues such as breast hyperplasia. It is recommended to have a breast ultrasound for examination. Additionally, it is important to maintain good local hygiene of the breasts to avoid local inflammation and other problems. It is also essential to maintain a positive mood and avoid significant emotional fluctuations, as these can have adverse effects on the breasts.
