Breast hyperplasia is caused by hormonal imbalances within the body. Mild hyperplasia can be managed by regulating mental efforts and relieving stress. For more severe cases, traditional Chinese medicine and herbs are used for treatment. The primary approach is psychological therapy, mainly aimed at relieving stress, reducing life pressures, eliminating worries, creating a pleasant mood, and fostering a peaceful mindset, which can alleviate symptoms.

Is category II breast hyperplasia serious?

Category II breast hyperplasia is not serious; it is simply a type of breast hyperplasia. Breast hyperplasia is mainly related to the estrogen levels in the body. The main treatments should focus on soothing the liver and regulating qi, promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis, regulating mood, and adjusting endocrine functions. Some traditional Chinese medicines that soothe the liver, regulate qi, and promote blood circulation to remove blood stasis can also be used to manage these symptoms. There is no psychological burden associated with this, and normal treatment is sufficient.
