Breast hyperplasia, also known as lobular hyperplasia, includes clinically observed conditions such as cystic mammary disease, chronic mammary disease, chronic cystic mastitis, mammary dysplasia, breast cysts, and cystic hyperplasia of the breast. It is a common benign condition of the breast. It is commonly seen in middle-aged women and is mostly related to hormonal imbalances in the body. It is not an inflammation or a tumor, but a physiological response of the body to hormonal imbalance, representing a disorder of the normal structure of the breast. To examine breast hyperplasia, one should of course visit the breast department at a formal hospital for a consultation! If a small hospital does not have a breast surgery department, a consultation can be made in gynecology.

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.

Can hyperplasia of mammary glands be completely cured?

Generally speaking, breast hyperplasia can be cured. Do not be afraid if you have breast hyperplasia, although the duration and methods of treatment vary depending on the degree of breast hyperplasia. Simple breast hyperplasia, which often occurs in young women, primarily manifests as breast pain that varies with the menstrual cycle. This is considered a normal physiological state. Managing emotions and living a regular life can naturally alleviate the symptoms. However, as long as any type of breast hyperplasia is treated promptly with the correct approach, and treatment is adhered to consistently with regular follow-ups, it is quite easy to cure.

Symptoms of breast hyperplasia

Breast hyperplasia mainly manifests as cyclical breast pain and tenderness, which often appears or worsens before menstruation and lessens or disappears after menstruation. Mild cases may not catch the patient's attention, while severe cases can affect daily life and work. However, some patients do not show obvious cyclical changes. Symptoms can include unilateral or bilateral breast fullness and pain or needle-like pain, which may extend to the shoulders, upper limbs, or chest/back area. A few patients may experience nipple discharge that can be yellow-green, brown, serous, or bloody. The condition can persist for a long time, but symptoms may disappear or lessen after menopause.

Is breast hyperplasia scary?

Breast hyperplasia is a common breast disease, mostly seen in women aged 25 to 50. Clinical examinations show that 50% of women have cystic hyperplastic changes in the breast. In addition to the benign proliferation of breast fibrous tissue and epithelium accompanied by cysts, there is also the formation of fibroadenomas. The development into breast cancer is absolutely low risk, or generally does not undergo malignant transformation. Therefore, it is referred to as cystic breast hyperplasia or poor breast structure. Generally, the treatment is mainly focused on emotional aspects, and if the pain intensifies, treatment with traditional Chinese medicine can be utilized.

Methods for Mammary Gland Hyperplasia

The main clinical manifestation of breast hyperplasia is usually premenstrual breast pain, and palpation of the breasts may reveal hyperplasia. Generally speaking, breast hyperplasia is not a serious issue, but there is a possibility of cancerous changes in a small number of patients. Typically, the clinical treatment of breast hyperplasia should not primarily focus on pain relief. The main treatment method is to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, thereby alleviating pain and symptoms. Patients with breast hyperplasia should maintain a positive mood and emotions, and avoid getting upset or angry in daily life.
