Patient's question:
Feeling breast tenderness, went to the hospital for an ultrasound check, it was found to be fibrocystic changes.Doctor's answer:
Breast hyperplasia usually requires medication or other treatments in the following situations: 1. Pain is unrelated to the menstrual cycle and medication should be taken; 2. Pain is related to the menstrual cycle but affects daily life and work, and medication should be taken; 3. Breast hyperplasia nodules show adverse characteristics, and a biopsy or surgery should be performed.The key is to have an experienced surgeon perform a physical examination to check for nodules locally and assess their characteristics, such as boundaries, smoothness, mobility, and texture, to determine the possible nature. Ultrasound, X-rays, and other tests are for reference only. Nodules that are fixed, hard in texture, have unclear boundaries, or have an irregular surface all show adverse characteristics and require a biopsy for confirmation or surgery. It is essential to seek examination and treatment at a formal hospital. The hospitals I know include: Zhejiang University School of Medicine Affiliated Shao Yuefu Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine Affiliated Children's Hospital, and Hangzhou Red Cross Hospital.
