15-year-old girl has a lump in her chest and slight pain

A 15-year-old girl has a lump in her breast and some pain, which is probably a typical manifestation of lobular hyperplasia. Lobular hyperplasia is not a serious disease, but if it is not treated and prevented in time, lobular hyperplasia will transform into breast nodules, and breast nodules are more likely to transform into breast hyperplasia and deteriorate into breast cancer. Therefore, lobular hyperplasia must be treated actively.

1. Drug treatment

Most cystic hyperplasia can be treated non-surgically. Use a bra to lift the breasts. Traditional Chinese medicine to soothe the liver, regulate qi and harmonize the body can relieve pain. When the pain is obvious in the premenopausal period, you can take methyltestosterone 3 times a day before the menstruation, 5 mg each time. You can also take progesterone orally 5 to 10 mg per day for 7 to 10 days before menstruation. In recent years, the use of vitamin E treatment has also had a pain-relieving effect. For those whose lesions are limited to a part of the breast and who still have obvious lumps after menstruation, surgical treatment can also be used.

Treatment under the guidance of a doctor: Western medicine includes 5% potassium iodide. Those with severe pain can try methyltestosterone, which should be taken orally one week before menstruation to avoid further disrupting the delicate balance of hormones in the human body.
