Patient's question:
I had a breast examination a year ago and underwent infrared therapy. It was said that both breasts had hyperplasia. Later, some medication was prescribed, and after taking it, there was some improvement. However, it has started again in the past few months, with especially severe pain and tenderness.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 mass of the lesion, which can often achieve a definite therapeutic effect. If there is a clear tendency toward malignancy or if the biopsy confirms pre-cancerous lesions, a simple mastectomy should be performed for safety. Additionally, when a patient experiences galactorrhea, it is important to distinguish it from hyperprolactinemia or hypogonadotropic hypogonadism with galactorrhea to avoid misdiagnosis.
