How often should breast hyperplasia be checked?

Breast hyperplasia can have a great impact on the bodies of many people and bring a great sense of oppression to the body. It is critical to choose the correct method for treatment, and it is important to detect breast hyperplasia in time. Regarding breast hyperplasia, it is generally necessary to conduct an examination first. How often to conduct the examination depends on the doctor's instructions after the examination. Generally, it is necessary to conduct an examination every 2 to 3 months or every six months.

In general, the common methods for checking breast hyperplasia are:

1. B-ultrasound examination: It has become a commonly used method for examining breast hyperplasia in clinical practice due to its advantages such as convenience, economy, non-invasiveness and painlessness. With the development of ultrasonic imaging and the application of high-frequency ultrasound, the resolution of ultrasound has been greatly improved, and it can detect tiny lesions in the breast, especially the differentiation between cystic and solid tumors, which is difficult to be replaced by other imaging methods.

2. Mammary gland X-ray examination: Mammary gland X-ray examination is an important method for detecting breast hyperplasia, but it is not necessary to perform repeated examinations in a short period of time, especially during adolescence, pregnancy and lactation, as the breasts are sensitive to X-rays. Excessive exposure will increase the incidence of breast hyperplasia. Generally, you should have a mammography examination at least once before the age of 30, every 2-3 years between the ages of 30 and 40, and once every 1-2 years after the age of 40. The examination of microcalcification is unmatched by other imaging examinations.

3. Breast MRI examination: Breast MRI examination has high sensitivity and medium specificity. Because of its relatively high price, long inspection time, and relatively small and closed space, it is not yet popular. It has great advantages in the treatment of tiny breast hyperplasia with negative breast X-ray and ultrasound examinations, postoperative follow-up, examination of breast prosthesis implantation or breast augmentation injection, nipple discharge, and screening of high-risk groups. This is also a common method for examining breast hyperplasia.

The above is an introduction to the common examination methods for breast hyperplasia. I believe everyone has some understanding of this. Once you suffer from breast hyperplasia, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid missing the best time for treatment.
