Doctor's answer:
Breast tenderness is generally divided into two types: physiological and pathological. It often occurs during menstruation, but if the pain persists and is accompanied by a lump, it is pathological, with a higher likelihood of being fibrocystic breast disease. Patients should seek medical attention for related examinations.If diagnosed, patients should start treatment promptly. Pain is a typical symptom of fibrocystic breast disease, but the standard of treatment should not be whether the pain persists or whether the lump completely disappears. Instead, it should focus on whether the treatment addresses the root cause of the disease. The underlying cause of fibrocystic breast disease should not be ignored. If you want to fundamentally improve fibrocystic breast disease, it is best to choose a medication that combines dispersing, eliminating, replenishing, and tonifying methods to treat it.
