Is a breast nodule classified as Category 3 serious?

Breast nodule category 3 indicates the presence of a lesion within the breast that is likely benign, with a typically less than 2% risk of malignancy. Doctors usually recommend a follow-up examination around six months later to monitor for any changes in the nodule. This does not indicate a serious condition, but rather necessitates close monitoring and regular check-ups.

For the treatment of category 3 breast nodules, there are generally two approaches: medication and surgery. Medication is primarily used to relieve discomfort symptoms such as pain and swelling but does not eliminate the nodule itself. Surgical treatment is suitable for cases where the nodule grows rapidly, causes discomfort, or is suspected of undergoing malignant changes. After surgical treatment, patients also require pathological testing to determine the precise nature of the nodule.

In addition, patients should also pay attention to dietary regulation, lifestyle adjustments, appropriate exercise, and emotional management in their daily lives to enhance immune function and promote recovery.
