1. Breast Examination Consultation

Q: No dilation of the breast ducts was observed, and no clearly defined mass echo was seen internally. Lymph nodes measuring approximately 4 mm × 6 mm were found in both axillae. Ultrasound indicated bilateral mammary lobular hyperplasia, with nipple discharge as the diagnosis. Is this serious, Dr. Pei? What should be done?

A: Not serious. Nipple discharge is one of the early symptoms of breast cancer, and breast hyperplasia can also cause nipple discharge. For example, “a horse has four legs, but not every four-legged animal is a horse.”
