Patient's question:
Itchy and sore breasts! Could you please help me with an explanation? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the condition: Hello, breast hyperplasia is the most common breast disease in women. In adolescent or young women, there may be breast tenderness before menstruation, and sometimes the pain can radiate to the shoulder and back. After menstruation, breast pain gradually subsides on its own, and only some thickening of the breast tissue can be felt, without obvious nodules. These are physiological changes, not a disease, and do not require treatment. It is a physiological hyperplasia. Therefore, this condition is not serious.Advice: Since the mechanisms and causes of breast hyperplasia are not yet fully understood, current treatment is primarily symptomatic. Medications such as Ru Kuai Xiao, Ru Pi Xiao, Nang Pi Ling, and Tamoxifen can be taken to alleviate symptoms. Long-term consumption of foods rich in phytoestrogens, such as soybeans and Pueraria lobata, can help regulate the endocrine system and prevent the occurrence of the disease.
