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.

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.

How to regulate mammary gland hyperplasia

For symptoms that are not severe or are mild, most do not require treatment, but regular re-examination of breast ultrasonography or mammography is necessary. For more pronounced symptoms, medication and symptomatic treatment can be used as follows: Bras can be used to support the breasts, and traditional Chinese medicine can be used to treat breast hyperplasia by smoothing the liver, regulating Qi, and harmonizing the Conception and Governing Vessels. Endocrine treatment can also be used, though it should be avoided as much as possible. However, for premenopausal women with severe pain, it can be taken before the onset of menstruation. When undergoing endocrine treatment, regular pelvic ultrasound examinations are required, as endocrine treatment may increase the risk of endometrial cancer. Vitamin treatment, such as with Vitamins B, C, and E, can improve liver function, regulate sex hormone metabolism, and enhance autonomic nervous function, and can be used as an adjunctive therapy for this condition.

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.
