Patient's question:
Breast hyperplasia for over 10 years, bloating and pain before menstruation, will it worsen at any time? Can I eat some tonics like ginseng and antler, and alcohol? Every time I eat, there is some bloating and pain. Taking medicine for many years hasn't been effective. Should I consider surgery?Doctor's answer:
1. Regular check-ups; to detect early and treat promptly.2. Adhere to medication; this condition involves severe endocrine disorders, with poor drug sensitivity in affected tissues, slow tumor regression, and prolonged treatment duration. Sometimes, oral medication may take six to twelve months to become effective.
3. Complete surgical excision; the best treatment for localized lesions is to remove the large mass of the lesion, which often yields definite therapeutic results. If there is an obvious tendency toward malignancy or if biopsy confirms pre-cancerous lesions, a simple mastectomy should be performed for safety. Additionally, when patients experience galactorrhea, it is important to distinguish it from hyperprolactinemia or hypogonadotropic hypogonadism to prevent misdiagnosis.
