A 8-year-old girl has a swollen and painful lump in her nipple, and there is a hard lump when touched. What could be the reason?

Patient's question:

About two days ago, my daughter felt a swollen and painful nipple, a bit red, but she hasn't gone to see a doctor yet.

Doctor's answer:

Breast hyperplasia or fibroadenoma can generally be treated with Guizhi Fuling Pill or Xiaojin Pill. Psychological treatment is very important. The harm of breast hyperplasia to a person is primarily psychological damage. Due to the lack of correct understanding of this disease, excessive tension, stimulation, worry, and sadness can lead to neurosis, which will worsen endocrine disorders and exacerbate the condition of hyperplasia. Therefore, it is important to eliminate various adverse psychological stimuli. People with poor psychological resilience should pay more attention to reducing anger, maintaining emotional stability, and keeping a cheerful and lively mood to promote the relief or regression of breast hyperplasia. In severe cases, surgical removal may be considered as a treatment option.
