What department should I go to for breast pain

The human body is a whole. When facing work, life and family every day, some problems are inevitable, such as pain here and there. Of course, this is definitely an abnormal phenomenon. This is the body sending out an alarm and indicating that there is a problem. In this case, you can go see a doctor, but the hospital has many departments. Which department should you go to? For example, which department should I go to for breast pain? Many of us don’t know this, so let’s learn about it today!

Apart from the swelling and pain in the breasts caused by ovulation which you don’t need to worry about, you must pay attention to “non-physiological” pain! It could be a sign of a tumor or other cystic disease. After the menstruation ends, there will still be irregular pain, cramps or swelling in the chest; if the pain is located at a fixed point, you should be alert and go to the hospital as soon as possible for further biopsy to determine whether there are other lesions.

Although traditional Chinese medicine can treat breast lesions, if the pain is abnormal or there is even abnormal secretion, it may be a tumor or fibrocystic fibrosis. It is best to go to the hospital for a biopsy first so that further treatment can be carried out based on the cause.

Speaking of medical treatment, do you know which department to see for breast disease? In real life, there are indeed many women who go to the hospital but don’t know which department to see. Most people would first think of obstetrics and gynecology, because breast pain is a disease unique to women, so one should see an obstetrician and gynecologist; some people think that since the breasts are located in the chest, one should see a thoracic doctor; probably very few people would first think of seeing a surgeon. In medicine, general surgeons are more specialized in breast medicine. Some hospitals have special breast disease departments, but they are usually a branch of general surgery.

So, to sum up, which department should I go to for breast pain? I believe that many people did not think of this, as they are in the surgery department. So sometimes you still need some common sense so that you will not be at a loss when problems arise. Breast pain should also be taken seriously, especially in today's society where breast cancer is prevalent.
