My wifes been having this pain in her left breast, and were both getting a bit worried since it hasnt gone away. We saw a doctor, did some tests, and they said everything seemed fine, but the pains still there. Could someone help me understand what might be going on or what steps we should take next?

Accepted Answer

Although the doctor's tests didn't indicate any issues, it's essential to monitor your wife's breast pain and watch for any changes or additional symptoms, such as lumpiness, nipple discharge, or skin changes, and consider a follow-up appointment in a few weeks to reassess the situation, meanwhile, encourage your wife to perform regular breast self-exams and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Question 3

I've been diagnosed with fibroadenoma and complex cysts along with ductal ectasia in both breasts. What kind of medication would help manage this? Is surgery necessary, or are there other treatment options? Who should I consult for this a general physician or a specialist?

Accepted Answer

For your diagnosed conditions (fibroadenoma, complex cysts, and ductal ectasia in both breasts), medication is not typically the primary treatment. Instead, watchful waiting, monitoring, and in some cases, surgical or minimally invasive procedures may be recommended. You should consult with a specialist, specifically a breast surgeon or a specialized breast clinic for the best course of action

I'm really worried about my wife. She's 23 and has been dealing with fibroadenoma for about 4 years now. There's one in her right breast that's around 3 cm, and it's causing her a lot of fear. We're really hoping to find a way to treat it without surgery. Any advice?
