BI-RADS category 2 is usually determined through breast ultrasound or breast MRI to assess the likelihood of benignity or malignancy. This condition generally does not require treatment. If there are no discomfort symptoms, special treatment is usually unnecessary; regular follow-up examinations at the hospital are recommended to monitor any changes in the condition promptly. If malignancy is suspected, a breast biopsy can be performed at the hospital to confirm the nature of the nodule.
