Patient's question:
I feel like there's a lump inside my breast, and it's quite big. A long time before my period, my breasts get very sore and, but the pain goes away after my period. There are blue veins on my breasts, and one of my nipples is slightly inverted. My friends say it's very serious breast hyperplasia, and that inverted nipples can lead to breast cancer. I'm only 21 and not married. What should I do? Is it easy to treat? How long will it take to get better? A year? Two years? I don't want surgery. Is there any self-help method? For example, regarding diet. People at beauty salons say that massage can help treat it. Is that true? I'm very scared... Please help me.Doctor's answer:
Medical Analysis: Hello, you must go to the hospital for examination in this condition because nipple retraction should be taken seriously.1 If it is simply cystic hyperplasia of the breast, surgery can be avoided initially, and Chinese medicine regulation can be used.
2 For localized hyperplasia, regular follow-up is recommended, generally one week after the end of menstruation. If the breast lumps soften and subside, further observation can continue.
3 If the lump is localized and shows no significant improvement after medication, a puncture biopsy may be performed if breast cancer is suspected. If severe atypical hyperplasia is present, or if the patient has a family history of breast cancer or other high-risk factors, surgical treatment should be considered comprehensively based on the patient's condition.
Suggestions:
1 It is recommended that you undergo a puncture biopsy to determine whether it is benign or malignant.
2 This condition cannot be treated with dietary therapy.
3 It is not advisable to undergo hand-pushing therapy at beauty salons, as excessive stimulation may lead to faster hyperplasia.
4 If it is benign, after a differential diagnosis with Chinese medicine, Chinese herbal medicine can be used as adjunctive treatment.
5 Regular follow-up is recommended.
