Category II breast hyperplasia is not serious; it is simply a type of breast hyperplasia. Breast hyperplasia is mainly related to the estrogen levels in the body. The main treatments should focus on soothing the liver and regulating qi, promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis, regulating mood, and adjusting endocrine functions. Some traditional Chinese medicines that soothe the liver, regulate qi, and promote blood circulation to remove blood stasis can also be used to manage these symptoms. There is no psychological burden associated with this, and normal treatment is sufficient.

How to feel for breast hyperplasia

Patients with mammary gland hyperplasia can feel foreign objects when touching, but the pain from pressing is not very obvious. Patients generally can feel multiple or single nodules with elasticity, and there is no noticeable pain when pressed. Some patients may also experience symptoms such as breast tenderness, which is usually more pronounced before menstruation and may relieve on its own after menstruation ends. Mammary gland hyperplasia is mostly a benign tumor. If the symptoms are not very noticeable, observation can be the first approach. However, if hyperplastic nodules appear, cytological puncture should be conducted, and surgery may be necessary to achieve a cure when needed.

What to do with breast hyperplasia and chest pain?

What can be done about breast hyperplasia and chest pain? Generally, we can use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment, using methods to soothe the liver and regulate qi to alleviate pain; endocrine therapy is also an option, to be used as little as possible, but it can be taken before menstruation starts when the pain is very significant in the pre-menopausal period, because endocrine therapy may increase the risk of endometrial cancer, thus regular pelvic ultrasound re-examinations are necessary. Vitamin therapy can also be used, as vitamins B, C, and E have functions to improve liver functions, regulate basal metabolic rate, and enhance autonomic nerve function, and can be used as supplementary medication for this condition. In recent years, vitamin E is also considered to have a pain-relieving effect, especially for those with a family history of breast cancer, and when the lesion is confined to a part of the breast. If there are still significant lumps after menstruation, it may be necessary to perform a puncture biopsy or necessary surgical treatment.

What department should I go to for breast hyperplasia?

In general, large hospitals manage breast hyperplasia under the department of breast internal medicine, or it can also be seen in the department of breast surgery. Moreover, smaller hospitals that do not have a dedicated breast department categorize it under oncology or thyroid department, and sometimes under gynecology. Therefore, it is necessary to consult the local hospital to determine which department to visit for this condition. Then, further diagnostic procedures like breast ultrasound and mammography can be conducted to determine if it is breast hyperplasia.

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.

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.
