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.

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.

What should I do with bilateral breast hyperplasia?

Bilateral breast hyperplasia, although common, is indeed a burden on women's health. So, what should one do if diagnosed with bilateral breast hyperplasia? Firstly, it's important to understand that there are different types of breast hyperplasia. One type is physiological, which generally does not require treatment as the symptoms will disappear on their own. Another type of breast hyperplasia is caused by personal health factors, such as depression, or long-term irregular living habits, which often lead to hormonal imbalances and subsequently bilateral breast hyperplasia. For this type, it is necessary to eliminate the root cause by adjusting one's mood, correcting unhealthy living habits, avoiding smoking and drinking, and maintaining emotional stability and a healthy diet for effective control. Of course, it is best to combine these efforts with treatment advised by a doctor. There is also a pathological type of bilateral breast hyperplasia that requires special attention because of the potential risk of cancer. Therefore, it is imperative to seek timely medical examination and treatment.

What department should I go to for breast hyperplasia?

In general, large hospitals manage breast hyperplasia under the department of breast internal medicine, or it can also be seen in the department of breast surgery. Moreover, smaller hospitals that do not have a dedicated breast department categorize it under oncology or thyroid department, and sometimes under gynecology. Therefore, it is necessary to consult the local hospital to determine which department to visit for this condition. Then, further diagnostic procedures like breast ultrasound and mammography can be conducted to determine if it is breast hyperplasia.
