What is breast hyperplasia?

Breast hyperplasia refers to the proliferation of epithelial and fibrous tissues in the breast, degenerative changes in the ductal and lobular structures of the breast tissue, and the progressive growth of connective tissue. The main cause of its onset is primarily related to hormonal imbalances. It mainly manifests as menstrual cycle-related pain, occasional nipple discharge, sometimes white discharge, or grass-yellow discharge, often presenting as swelling pain or stabbing pain, which can radiate to the ribs or back pain.

Breast hyperplasia massage technique

Massaging the breasts can maintain good blood circulation within the breasts and assist in the treatment of breast hyperplasia. Apply olive oil to the breasts and then start massaging. Step 1: With the thumb on one side and the other four fingers together on the other side, spread the web between thumb and index finger. Push from the outer sides of both breasts towards the center to prevent the breasts from expanding outward. Do 30 pushes on each side. Step 2: Keep the same hand shape, starting with the left breast. The left hand pushes the left breast from the outside toward the center. After reaching the center, use the right hand to push up the left breast from below to the collarbone area. This means both hands are alternately pushing the left breast. Repeat this 30 times and then switch to the right breast. This massaging method is very important for treating breast hyperplasia. Step 3: Shape your hands like a cup, with fingers slightly apart, enough to cover the breasts. Lean forward slightly, cover the breasts with both hands, and lift from the bottom (not lower part) towards the nipple. Repeat this 20 times. Step 4: Massage around the breasts in a circular motion, until all the remaining essential oil on the chest is absorbed. A special reminder: Patients with larger cysts should not massage, as excessive force may cause the cysts to rupture.

Can breast hyperplasia turn into cancer?

Traditional breast hyperplasia, specifically lobular hyperplasia, does not become cancerous. However, if the hyperplasia has progressed to atypical hyperplasia, there is a small chance that it could turn into cancer. Normal lobular hyperplasia, in itself, does not become cancerous. Self-examinations and annual hospital check-ups are very important. Therefore, when you cannot distinguish whether the hyperplasia is lobular or atypical, you should go to a formal hospital for an examination.

Do breast hyperplasia hurt?

Breast hyperplasia can be painful, primarily manifesting as cyclical breast pain according to the menstrual cycle. For example, there may be swelling and pain before menstruation, and lumps can be felt in the breasts. Anger and "internal heat" can also worsen breast hyperplasia. The main treatments include soothing the liver and regulating qi, maintaining a positive attitude, and avoiding spicy and fried foods. Traditional Chinese medicine primarily uses approaches to soothe the liver, improve qi circulation, invigorate the blood, dissolve stasis, soften lumps, disperse nodules, and massage. In Western medicine, hormonal treatments can alleviate this pain.
