Patient's question:
The breasts have felt like hard objects since puberty. About 10 days before menstruation, they become tender and hard. A medical ultrasound showed breast thickening with some point-like echoes and slight disorder.Doctor's answer:
1. Regular check-ups; to detect early and treat promptly.2. Adhere to medication; this condition is a severe endocrine disorder, with the affected tissues having poor sensitivity to medication. The disappearance of tumors is slow, and treatment duration is long. Sometimes, oral medication is needed for six months to a year to take effect.
3. Complete surgical removal; the best treatment for localized lesions is to remove the large focal lesions, which can often achieve definite therapeutic effects. If there is an obvious tendency toward malignancy or if a biopsy confirms pre-cancerous lesions, a simple mastectomy should be performed to ensure safety. Additionally, when a patient experiences galactorrhea, it is important to differentiate it from hyperprolactinemia or hypermenorrheal galactorrhea syndrome to avoid misdiagnosis.
