Can mild pain from lobular hyperplasia be ignored?
For mild pain associated with lobular hyperplasia, it may not require intervention but regular follow-up is needed. For more pronounced symptoms, symptomatic pharmaceutical treatment should be administered. Supporting the breasts with a bra, using traditional Chinese medicine to soothe the liver, regulate qi, and harmonize the Chong and Ren meridians may alleviate the pain. Endocrine treatment is another option, though generally avoided if possible. However, for severe pre-menopausal pain, taking vitamins such as B, C, and E before menstruation can help as they improve liver function, regulate hormone metabolism, and enhance autonomic nerve function. Vitamin E also helps alleviate pain.
The difference between breast cancer and lobular hyperplasia
The difference between breast cancer and lobular hyperplasia is as follows: Lobular hyperplasia primarily manifests as nodular lumps that can be felt within one or both breasts. These lumps vary in size, are tough but not hard, and sometimes tender to touch. The boundaries of the lumps with the surrounding breast tissue are not clear, but they are not adherent to the skin or chest muscles, sometimes presenting as areas of thickening with unclear boundaries. Breast cancer, on the other hand, appears as a solitary, painless lump that is hard as stone and can be round, oval-shaped, or irregular. It can grow large, has poor mobility, and can easily adhere to the skin and surrounding tissues. The growth of the cancerous lump is not related to the menstrual cycle or emotional changes, and it can grow rapidly in a short time. On a mammogram, breast cancer lumps may show tiny calcifications, abnormal vascular shadows, and spicules.
What are the symptoms of breast cancer?
Breast cancer is most commonly found (60% of cases) on the outer boundary of the breast. Its symptoms often include a single, painless, small lump that is hard, with an uneven surface and an irregular shape. The boundaries of the lump are not clearly distinguishable from the surrounding tissue, and it cannot be easily moved within the breast. The skin over the lump may show signs of redness, swelling, dimpling or orange-peel-like changes. Additional symptoms might include dimpling, ulceration, and other abnormalities. The lump may be associated with changes in the same side nipple, such as bloody discharge, and enlarged lymph nodes can sometimes be felt under the armpit.
What to eat for mammary gland hyperplasia?
Breast hyperplasia, once diagnosed, requires dietary attention. Try to avoid consuming high-fat, greasy, spicy, and stimulating foods, as well as high-calorie foods. It is appropriate to eat more high-fiber and coarse-grain foods, and the patient's diet should include high protein, high fiber, and nutritionally rich foods, such as vegetables and fruits, with a reasonable combination of meals. Refrain from spicy, stimulating, greasy foods and primarily control emotions.
Does massaging breasts have any disadvantages for adolescent girls?
Massaging the breasts during adolescence has certain benefits, and the effects of massaging the chest are numerous. For example, appropriate breast massage can raise the temperature of the local skin and tissues, speeding up the blood circulation in the mammary glands. This helps provide more blood and nutrients to the breasts, which can promote breast enlargement and development. During the massage, essential oils can be applied. The massage stimulates the skin of the breasts and causes the pores to expand, allowing the ingredients of the essential oils to be absorbed by the breasts. This can improve conditions such as breast sagging and loosening of the breast skin.
The difference between lobular hyperplasia of the breast and breast hyperplasia.
Breast lobular hyperplasia and breast hyperplasia are the same; they are both referred to as cystic hyperplasia of the breast, a common breast disease seen in women aged 25-50. Clinically, 50% of women exhibit changes associated with cystic breast hyperplasia. Its main characteristics are the proliferation of breast tissue components, manifesting as abnormalities in structure, quantity, and histology. In addition to the benign proliferation of breast fibrous tissue and epithelium accompanied by cyst formation, it may also coexist with the formation of fibroadenomas. However, the absolute risk of developing into breast cancer is extremely low, hence it is also termed cystic breast hyperplasia or breast dysplasia.
How long does breast cancer surgery take?
Generally speaking, for breast cancer surgery, local anesthesia is first used to biopsy the pathology. After removing the pathology, it is quickly determined whether it is malignant or benign. Then, the procedure is switched to general anesthesia to perform either modified radical mastectomy or radical mastectomy, or a sentinel lymph node biopsy. The approximate time is about two hours, plus postoperative care, it usually ends in about two and a half hours, and then the patient is sent back to the ward to rest, generally not exceeding three hours.
Symptoms of breast hyperplasia
Breast hyperplasia usually manifests as cyclical symptoms such as swelling, pain, and tenderness that often occur or worsen before menstruation and may decrease or disappear after menstruation. Minor cases might not be a concern for patients, but severe cases can affect daily life and work. Symptoms might include pain in one or both breasts, which can extend to the shoulders, upper limbs, or shoulder blades. Additionally, a small number of people might experience nipple discharge, which could be milky, clear, yellow-green, or brown in color.
Will a bad mood make lobular hyperplasia worse?
Breast lobular hyperplasia can worsen with mood because it is related to elevated estrogen levels caused by endocrine disorders. External living conditions, work and life circumstances, interpersonal relationships, and various other stresses can cause neuropsychiatric factors, all of which can change the internal environment of the body. This, in turn, affects the function of the endocrine system, leading to abnormal secretion of one or several hormones. During the menstrual cycle, breast receptors and internal hormone levels change periodically. When the proportion of hormones in the body becomes unbalanced, an increase in estrogen levels and a decrease in progesterone secretion can lead to incomplete regression of breast hyperplasia after its increase, causing the exacerbation of breast hyperplasia.
early symptoms of breast cancer
Breast cancer commonly occurs in the upper outer quadrant of the breast, with a hard, stone-like texture, mostly presenting as solitary masses that can be round, oval, or irregular in shape. These tumors have limited mobility and tend to adhere to the skin and surrounding tissues. However, the size of the mass does not change with menstrual cycles or emotional fluctuations, and it can grow rapidly in a short period. It predominantly affects middle-aged and elderly women. Additionally, mammography can reveal tiny calcifications, abnormal vascular patterns, and spiculated changes.
