Is my nipple pain a symptom of breast cancer?

Patient's question:

Breast pain

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Nipple pain is generally not a symptom of breast cancer. In the early stages of breast cancer, there are no symptoms, but in the advanced stages, there may be lumps, pain, nipple discharge, etc. It is possible that you may have hyperplasia of the breast lobules, which is common among many people. The pain usually occurs before menstruation.
Advice: It is recommended that you undergo a mammography at the hospital to determine if you have hyperplasia of the breast lobules. If it is hyperplasia of the breast lobules, oral medication can be taken, such as Baixiao Dan.
