Breast hyperplasia is neither a tumor nor an inflammation; it is currently believed to be mainly related to endocrine disorders, leading to increased levels of estrogen. Factors such as the external environment in which people live, work and living conditions, interpersonal relationships, and other various stresses can cause changes in a person’s internal environment. These changes can affect the function of the endocrine system, leading to the abnormal secretion of one or several hormones, resulting in hormonal imbalances that cause breast hyperplasia.

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.

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.)

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.
