Mild breast pain and nodularity are common and may be considered normal. Only when symptoms are severe enough to affect the patient's lifestyle should drug treatment be considered. Using danazol, bromocriptine or evening primrose oil a clinically useful improvement in pain can be anticipated in 77% of patients with cyclical mastalgia and 44% with non-cyclical mastalgia. Benign nodularity should not be biopsied surgically as it is unnecessary and makes subsequent assessment of the breast difficult.
轻度乳房疼痛和结节较为常见，可视为正常情况。只有当症状严重到影响患者生活方式时，才应考虑药物治疗。使用达那唑、溴隐亭或月见草油，预计77%的周期性乳腺疼痛患者和44%的非周期性乳腺疼痛患者的疼痛会在临床上得到有效改善。良性结节不应进行手术活检，因为这没有必要，而且会使后续的乳房评估变得困难。
