Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: There is one on each side, asymmetrical growth. The left one is smaller and not easily noticeable, while the right one is larger and affects appearance, making it impossible to wear sleeveless clothing as it is very noticeable.It started growing around the second year of junior high school. During the summer, it may cause a slight pain, but it is not too severe—only a dull ache.
Can this be removed with medication, or what methods are recommended for removal?
First follow-up question: I have been to the hospital, but the doctor said it is not large enough to affect daily life and does not require removal.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the treatment principles for supernumerary breasts are as follows: If there is no disease, treatment is not necessary, especially for small supernumerary breasts. However, since supernumerary breasts are not normal mammary glands, they can be removed under the following conditions: ① Frequent discomfort before menstruation; ② Presence of abnormal lumps and tumors in the supernumerary breast; ③ Due to the size of the supernumerary breast affecting aesthetics. Besides these, supernumerary breasts do not require surgical removal.
