Breast hyperplasia patients can eat pretty much anything. However, dietary considerations should be kept in mind. It is best to avoid high-fat, greasy, spicy, stimulative, and high-calorie foods as much as possible. You should consume more high-fiber and whole grain foods. The diet should be high in protein and fiber, and nutritionally rich, including plenty of vegetables and fruits. Meals should be well-balanced, and it's advisable to avoid spicy, stimulative, and greasy foods. Foods that nourish the blood, moisten the lungs, and relieve cough can also be beneficial.

Good methods for mammary gland hyperplasia

According to different pathological types, clinically, there are two types of breast hyperplasia: simple breast hyperplasia and cystic breast hyperplasia, each requiring different treatment methods. Starting with simple breast hyperplasia: for diagnosed patients who do not exhibit symptoms such as pain, medicinal treatment might not be necessary. Maintaining a regular lifestyle, staying relaxed, consuming less fatty food, and drinking fewer caffeine-containing beverages are all beneficial. If the pain affects normal life and work, severe cases might consider using estrogen blockers to alleviate the pain. Surgery is generally not recommended unless the hyperplastic lump cannot be ruled out as malignant. So, how is cystic breast hyperplasia treated? For patients with small cysts and mild symptoms, no surgery is needed, and treatment might involve the use of anti-estrogenic drugs for endocrine therapy. If the cyst is large, causes compressive symptoms, or if an ultrasound suggests thickening of the cyst wall, rich blood supply, or the presence of a tumor attached to the cyst wall, or if the patient is highly stressed about the risk of cancer, surgical treatment might be considered.

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.

How will breast hyperplasia worsen?

Breast hyperplasia worsening can turn into breast cancer. The texture of breast cancer lumps is generally quite hard, and some are as hard as stone. They mostly occur as a single lump on one side, and can be round, oval, or irregular in shape. They can grow quite large, have limited mobility, and easily adhere to the skin and surrounding tissues. The lump is unrelated to menstrual cycles and emotional changes, and can rapidly increase in size over a short period of time, commonly occurring in middle-aged and older women. Additionally, on a mammogram, breast cancer often appears as a lump shadow, with small calcification spots, abnormal vascular shadows, and spurs also aiding in diagnosis. However, the final diagnosis must be confirmed by histopathological examination results.

How to deal with breast hyperplasia pain?

Breast hyperplasia pain is generally caused by hormonal imbalances in the body. Mild pain can be managed by adjusting one's psychology or alleviating stress, but severe cases require treatment with traditional Chinese medicine and regular follow-ups. First, psychologically, it is important to relieve the pressures of life and work, eliminate worries, maintain a cheerful mood and a balanced mindset, which can help alleviate symptoms. Second, traditional Chinese medicine can be used, employing herbs that soothe the liver, promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, soften hardness, and break down masses to relieve pain. Third, Western medicine treatments involve the use of hormones and iodine preparations, which can treat breast hyperplasia but often have significant side effects. (Medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor.)
