Patient's question:
It was detected that there is fibroadenosis, and the (biopsy) results still show fibroadenosis. There are no symptoms (usually), but pain occurs during menstruation.Doctor's answer:
Your condition should not be a major issue. The concept of breast hyperplasia is now believed to be mostly physiological, meaning it is essentially normal.First, palpation is not as accurate as you might think, especially before your period when the breasts become congested and swollen, making it possible to feel some lumps. Generally, ultrasound is the preferred diagnostic tool. Based on your ultrasound results, it appears to be breast hyperplasia, which usually does not require treatment. If you experience significant swelling, you can take traditional Chinese medicine such as Ru Pi Xiao or Ping Xiao Pian to regulate it. However, breast tenderness before your period is typically physiological and does not require special treatment.
Regarding mammography, it is generally not recommended for patients under 35 to undergo routine mammography. It is only necessary for cases with high suspicion of malignant breast diseases or a family history of breast cancer. Moreover, mammography and ultrasound are complementary diagnostic tools and cannot replace each other. There is no need for an ultrasound to be "good," so whether you undergo mammography is ultimately up to you.
Your current breast pain symptoms are unrelated to your cervical surgery. If the pain is severe, you can take medication for breast hyperplasia. However, it is recommended to have a follow-up ultrasound at a major hospital's breast department about one week after your period. The results of ultrasound are highly dependent on the experience of the diagnosing doctor, so the results from smaller hospitals may not be reliable.
It is essential to seek examination and treatment at a reputable hospital. Some hospitals I know of include: the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, and the People's Hospital of Henan Province.
