Breast hyperplasia is organized differently in larger cities, with separate departments for breast internal medicine and breast surgery. Generally, simple breast hyperplasia should be treated in breast internal medicine. In medium-sized cities, breast internal medicine and breast surgery are combined into one department, so a normal breast department is sufficient. In smaller cities, due to the lack of a dedicated breast surgery department, it falls under general surgery or oncology. Therefore, one can visit oncology or general surgery. In even smaller towns, general surgery or gynecology can handle breast hyperplasia. Further down, in clinics, we still recommend visiting medium-sized or larger cities for treatment of 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.

Is category II breast hyperplasia serious?

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.

Is second-degree mammary gland hyperplasia serious?

Breast hyperplasia of the second degree is not serious; it is simply a case of benign breast hyperplasia. The main recommendation is to establish a good lifestyle, regulate life rhythm, maintain emotional well-being, persist in physical exercise, actively participate in social activities, and avoid or reduce mental and psychological stress factors. Additionally, mastering breast self-examination is advised. Developing the habit of performing a breast self-check monthly is beneficial, ideally after the menstrual period or midway between two months, when the breasts are softer. This makes it easier to detect any abnormalities. Then, it is sufficient to undergo a breast examination once a year.
