Question

Doctor, hello. Cystic breast hyperplasia, fibroadenoma, breast lumps. Please give me some good advice.

Answer

Cystic breast hyperplasia, fibroadenoma, ductal papilloma, and breast cancer can all cause breast lumps. It’s also important to note that self-diagnosis may lead to incorrect diagnoses. Guidelines indicate that pre-menopausal women are more likely to have benign tumors. However, if an isolated lump is found in the breast, immediate medical consultation is recommended and estrogen replacement therapy should be avoided. Post-menopausal women have a 50% chance of benign tumors and a 50% chance of malignant tumors.
