Patient's question:
Hello, I am 27 years old and have never been pregnant. For the past two or three years, I have occasionally experienced some discomfort and sharp pain in my right breast. About two years ago, during a playful moment with my husband, his elbow accidentally hit my right breast, causing pain and swelling for a while. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, everything was fine. I also thought it wasn't a big deal, possibly just occasional inflammation, but I'm worried it might worsen. How can I improve this condition? Can dietary changes help? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello: It may be a breast cyst, which is often formed when the breast is subjected to violent impact, causing small blood vessels to rupture and bleed, forming a hematoma. As the blood is absorbed and broken down, it forms a cyst. The patient may experience dull pain and discomfort in the breast. When the lump is touched, it is not attached to the skin and has a soft texture with a movable feel. The patient should promptly seek medical attention for examination and treatment.
