Breast hyperplasia patients can eat pretty much anything. However, dietary considerations should be kept in mind. It is best to avoid high-fat, greasy, spicy, stimulative, and high-calorie foods as much as possible. You should consume more high-fiber and whole grain foods. The diet should be high in protein and fiber, and nutritionally rich, including plenty of vegetables and fruits. Meals should be well-balanced, and it's advisable to avoid spicy, stimulative, and greasy foods. Foods that nourish the blood, moisten the lungs, and relieve cough can also be beneficial.

What is the best way to manage breast hyperplasia?

Patients with mammary gland hyperplasia should maintain a regular routine in their daily lives. Improving work and study efficiency, changing lifestyle habits of staying up late and sleeping during the day, relieving stress in time, maintaining a good mood, and regular exercise can all be helpful. Avoid trying breast massages and essential oil breast enhancement treatments at beauty salons too readily, as some essential oils illegally add estrogens, which can exacerbate the symptoms of mammary gland hyperplasia. Additionally, adhere to healthy dietary habits, avoid high-calorie junk food, and do not blindly take so-called hormone-based health products that claim to delay aging and improve skin. If the pain is unbearable and severely affects daily life, consider taking some symptom-relieving medication under a doctor's guidance rather than blindly following traditional dietary remedies. The most important point: whether symptoms are present or not, regular hospital check-ups are essential. Annual specialized medical examinations at the hospital are necessary. Women under 40 should have an ultrasound examination once a year, and those over 40 should have an ultrasound plus a mammography every year to ensure early detection of any potential health issues. Women with a family history and higher risk factors should have even more frequent check-ups.

Can hyperplasia of mammary glands be completely cured?

Generally speaking, it is difficult to completely cure breast hyperplasia because it is related to elevated levels of estrogen. Factors such as the external environment, work, living conditions, interpersonal relationships, various stress-related psychological factors, and changes in the indoor environment cause the state of the ovaries to continuously change, leading to the condition. Therefore, over a period of time, the use of medication or changes due to stress and mental factors can improve breast hyperplasia and eliminate the feeling of pain. However, with changes in the environment occurring again, the hyperplasia can recur, similar to catching a cold. After recovery, exposure to the virus after some time can lead to a recurrence.

Breast hyperplasia is related to what?

Breast hyperplasia is currently believed to be related to endocrine disorder, leading to increased levels of estrogen, as well as external living and working conditions, interpersonal relationships, and various other stresses. These factors can cause breast hyperplasia. During the menstrual cycle, the breast is affected by changes in endocrine levels, experiencing cyclical changes. Hormonal imbalances, characterized by high levels of estrogen and reduced secretion of progesterone, can lead to incomplete recovery after breast hyperplasia, thereby causing the condition. Mainly, controlling emotions is essential. The primary symptoms are cyclical swelling and pain in the breasts.

How to maintain breast hyperplasia usually?

Breast hyperplasia is closely related to the levels of estrogen in the body, as well as to being angry, staying up late, and eating spicy food. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid getting angry, staying up late, and eating spicy food regularly. For mild cases without symptoms, there is no need to address it if it does not affect daily life or work. If significant pain occurs, we can administer traditional Chinese medicine treatments, which can help soothe the liver and regulate qi, and harmonize the thoroughfare and conception vessels. Additionally, treatment can be supplemented with Vitamin A and Vitamin E. If these are not effective, endocrinological treatments specific to the symptoms may be used. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a physician based on the specific circumstances.)

What should I do about hyperplastic nodules in the breast?

Breast nodules are a symptom commonly associated with breast hyperplasia and neoplastic breast diseases. In treatment, it is crucial to first make an accurate diagnosis through breast ultrasound and mammography. If some nodules are highly likely to be benign, regular follow-up observation may be considered. If a biopsy is needed for some breast nodules to determine their pathological nature, the treatment plan can be decided based on the pathology results. If diagnosed as malignant tumors, a personalized comprehensive treatment plan should be developed in collaboration with multiple disciplines based on the patient's condition, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, endocrine therapy, and molecular targeted therapy, among others.
