Patient's question:
Dear Doctors:Hello! I am 27 years old and female. Since I was 16, I have had a hard lump the size of a pigeon egg in my left breast. It has remained the same size to this day. I have always been very healthy, without any minor health issues. Is this normal? Should I have surgery? Does it affect my health?
First follow-up question: During my period, I experience some bloating and pain, and the lump is movable. I am very scared...
Second follow-up question: I heard from adults that after surgery, one's constitution may weaken.
Doctor's answer:
Problem Analysis: Hello, hyperplasia of the breast gland is a general term for a group of diseases characterized by the hyperplasia of epithelial cells in the breast lobules, ducts, and connective tissues as the main pathological changes. Clinically, it is characterized by breast pain and lumps, which vary in severity with the menstrual cycle and emotional changes.Suggestions: It is commonly believed to be related to endocrine disorders and other human factors or unhealthy lifestyle factors, such as: women of advanced age who are childless, sexual dysfunction, induced abortion, marital discord, not breastfeeding, and so on, which prevent the breast from having normal, cyclical physiological activity. Wearing tight bras or tight innerwear, etc.
