Thank you to the doctor for answering my question quickly – how to treat and prevent it

Doctor's answer:

Painful breast lump The breast can be divided into four quadrants: outer upper, outer lower, inner upper, and inner lower. Among these, hyperplasia of the breast gland and breast cancer are more common in the outer upper quadrant. Hyperplasia of the breast gland is accompanied by pain, while early breast lumps are painless. The size of breast lumps also varies greatly, ranging from as small as a few millimeters to as large as over 10 centimeters. However, the size of the lump alone cannot determine its nature or prognosis. Some breast lumps, even though less than 1 centimeter in size, can still be diagnosed as breast cancer upon pathological examination. On the other hand, some very large breast lumps, such as giant fibroadenomas, are benign in nature. Breast lumps can also be either solitary or multiple. For example, multiple breast fibroadenomas, which are common in young women, are smooth and highly mobile. In lactating women, smooth and mobile lumps can also be observed, but these lumps are more cystic in texture, and fine-needle aspiration may reveal milk retention, indicating a milk retention cyst. In summary, breast lumps come in various forms and have numerous names, but the first and most important step is to distinguish between benign and malignant lesions. Breast lumps are often the first symptom of breast disease, and once they appear, regardless of their size or characteristics, medical attention should be sought immediately.

27-year-old Xiao Lin discovered a small 1-centimeter lump in one breast during a check-up last year. However, within the following six months, this lump, which she had ignored, grew rapidly into advanced breast cancer. Breast tumors are common benign tumors of the breast, more prevalent during periods of high sexual activity, particularly in the outer upper quadrant. Approximately 75% are solitary, while the rest are multiple. They typically cause no symptoms and are often discovered accidentally or during bathing. These lumps are the size of peanuts or dates, mobile, non-adherent to the skin, smooth, well-defined, and relatively firm. They usually do not cause axillary lymphadenopathy and may be accompanied by nipple discharge. The size of the lump is unrelated to the menstrual cycle. They commonly occur in women aged 18 to 25. Although breast fibroadenomas are benign, they can transform into malignancy, so immediate treatment with a high-grade traditional Chinese medicine is recommended upon discovery. After the lump subsides, a period of consolidation should be maintained to rule out the possibility of malignancy.
Traditional Chinese medicine is a reliable and low-side-effect treatment for this condition. 【Yilubao Herbal Patch】is the most effective treatment for hyperplasia of the breast gland.
