Patient's question:
My mother hasn't had her period for two months, and she doesn't have any other discomforts, but recently for the past week, she has been feeling breast pain, especially around the nipple. What should a 55-year-old woman do if she has breast pain?Doctor's answer:
At the age of menopause, I have been experiencing nipple pain these days, especially severe pain around the nipple. This condition is likely due to breast hyperplasia. It is recommended that you undergo a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination of the breast to rule out the possibility of breast lumps. Additionally, maintain a regular diet and sleep schedule. If the accessory breast shows symptoms of this nature, or if it significantly affects daily life and work, it is advisable to have the accessory breast surgically removed. This is relatively better to avoid potential malignant changes in the accessory breast in the future.
