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.

Symptoms of breast hyperplasia

Breast hyperplasia mainly manifests as cyclical breast pain and tenderness, which often appears or worsens before menstruation and lessens or disappears after menstruation. Mild cases may not catch the patient's attention, while severe cases can affect daily life and work. However, some patients do not show obvious cyclical changes. Symptoms can include unilateral or bilateral breast fullness and pain or needle-like pain, which may extend to the shoulders, upper limbs, or chest/back area. A few patients may experience nipple discharge that can be yellow-green, brown, serous, or bloody. The condition can persist for a long time, but symptoms may disappear or lessen after menopause.

How to treat mammary gland hyperplasia?

Treatment of breast hyperplasia: The first aspect is psychological treatment. Breast hyperplasia is often related to fatigue, irregular life, mental tension, and excessive stress. To treat hyperplasia, it is foremost necessary to alleviate the pressures of life and work, eliminate worries, and maintain a relaxed mood and peaceful mindset, which can alleviate the symptoms. The second is the treatment with traditional Chinese medicine, which involves using some herbs that soothe the liver, improve qi circulation, invigorate the blood, remove blood stasis, and soften and dissipate masses.

Which is more serious, breast hyperplasia or breast nodules?

Breast hyperplasia is a specific disease caused by hormonal imbalances in the body, which stimulate the breast and lead to structural disorders. Breast nodules are not a specific disease; they could be breast hyperplasia or other diseases. Almost all breast diseases can be described as breast nodules, such as breast hyperplasia, breast inflammation, or breast tumors, which can be either benign or malignant. Therefore, breast nodules could be breast hyperplasia or other diseases, and the specific condition needs to be analyzed accordingly.

Mammary gland hyperplasia should visit which department?

Breast hyperplasia, also known as lobular hyperplasia, includes clinically observed conditions such as cystic mammary disease, chronic mammary disease, chronic cystic mastitis, mammary dysplasia, breast cysts, and cystic hyperplasia of the breast. It is a common benign condition of the breast. It is commonly seen in middle-aged women and is mostly related to hormonal imbalances in the body. It is not an inflammation or a tumor, but a physiological response of the body to hormonal imbalance, representing a disorder of the normal structure of the breast. To examine breast hyperplasia, one should of course visit the breast department at a formal hospital for a consultation! If a small hospital does not have a breast surgery department, a consultation can be made in gynecology.
