Breast hyperplasia of the second degree is not serious; it is simply a case of benign breast hyperplasia. The main recommendation is to establish a good lifestyle, regulate life rhythm, maintain emotional well-being, persist in physical exercise, actively participate in social activities, and avoid or reduce mental and psychological stress factors. Additionally, mastering breast self-examination is advised. Developing the habit of performing a breast self-check monthly is beneficial, ideally after the menstrual period or midway between two months, when the breasts are softer. This makes it easier to detect any abnormalities. Then, it is sufficient to undergo a breast examination once a year.

What is the best food to eat for mammary gland hyperplasia?

For breast hyperplasia, it is advisable to consume more vitamins and high-fiber foods, as well as fruits and vegetables. Although its exact mechanism is not clear, it has been confirmed that fiber can inhibit breast cancer and colon cancer. Numerous studies also suggest that vitamin A plays a protective role in breast cells. It is beneficial to exercise frequently, and to eat less food high in estrogen, such as soy isoflavones, soy milk, and poultry. Additionally, it is wise to reduce alcohol consumption and smoking, as drinking can increase the levels of estrogen in the body, thereby raising the risk of breast cancer in women.

What does breast hyperplasia feel like to the touch?

Breast hyperplasia, found during physical examinations, can present as nodular lumps in one or both breasts. These lumps vary in size, are firm but not hard, and may sometimes be tender to touch. The boundaries between the lumps and surrounding breast tissue are unclear, yet there is no adhesion to the skin or chest muscles. Occasionally, the condition presents as an area of indistinct thickening, with lesions typically located in the upper outer quadrant of the breast, but it can affect the entire breast. The size of the lumps often changes with the menstrual cycle, enlarging during menstruation or shrinking afterward. Sometimes, there might be nipple discharge, which can be yellow-brown, serous, or bloody. The course of the disease can be prolonged, but symptoms usually disappear or lessen after menopause.

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.

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.
