After giving birth with a dry, benign breast tumor, can I drink evening primrose oil?

Question
Hello doctor,
I am 32 years old this year. After giving birth to a baby, I had dryness and decreased libido, but I had benign fibroids in my chest. So the doctor asked me after giving birth with a dry, benign breast tumor, can I drink evening primrose oil? If not drinking, how to improve? Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question "After giving birth with a dry, benign breast tumor, can I drink evening primrose oil? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
After giving birth, you have signs of dryness and decreased libido, and at the same time have benign breast fibroids, you should go to a specialist for examination for advice on treatment methods. Specifically.
Evening primrose oil can improve dryness and reduce libido but does not treat breast lumps.
Treatments for benign breast lumps: For cyclical pain, you should wear a well-fitting bra, take pain relievers if necessary. If you're using combined hormonal birth control, your symptoms may improve on their own after a while. In case of non-cyclical breast pain, you should see a specialist for consultation and treatment.
If you still have questions about postpartum dryness, benign breast tumors, can you drink evening primrose oil, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
