The main clinical manifestation of breast hyperplasia is usually premenstrual breast pain, and palpation of the breasts may reveal hyperplasia. Generally speaking, breast hyperplasia is not a serious issue, but there is a possibility of cancerous changes in a small number of patients. Typically, the clinical treatment of breast hyperplasia should not primarily focus on pain relief. The main treatment method is to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, thereby alleviating pain and symptoms. Patients with breast hyperplasia should maintain a positive mood and emotions, and avoid getting upset or angry in daily life.

Is hot compress good for mammary gland hyperplasia?

We first understand that breast hyperplasia is caused by endocrine hormonal imbalances due to various factors including neuroimmune responses and trace elements, leading to imbalances in bodily endocrine factors. This results in a disruption of the balance between estrogen and progesterone, with a decrease in progesterone secretion during the luteal phase and a relative increase in estrogen levels. This causes prolonged stimulation of breast tissue by estrogen, lacking the regulation and protective effects of progesterone, thus leading to the development of breast hyperplasia. Generally, hot compresses are not effective; instead, under the guidance of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) differentiation, Chinese herbal medicine can be used for adjustment. It's important to relax emotionally, engage in appropriate exercise, and pay attention to a balanced diet with a proper mix of meat and vegetables, ensuring nutritional balance. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, consume less honey, soybeans and soy products to reduce intake of natural estrogens, enhance physical exercise to boost immunity, and subsequently make regular hospital visits for check-ups. (The use of medication should be under the direction of a doctor)

Breast hyperplasia is related to what?

Breast hyperplasia is currently believed to be related to endocrine disorder, leading to increased levels of estrogen, as well as external living and working conditions, interpersonal relationships, and various other stresses. These factors can cause breast hyperplasia. During the menstrual cycle, the breast is affected by changes in endocrine levels, experiencing cyclical changes. Hormonal imbalances, characterized by high levels of estrogen and reduced secretion of progesterone, can lead to incomplete recovery after breast hyperplasia, thereby causing the condition. Mainly, controlling emotions is essential. The primary symptoms are cyclical swelling and pain in the breasts.

Is breast hyperplasia scary?

Breast hyperplasia is a common breast disease, mostly seen in women aged 25 to 50. Clinical examinations show that 50% of women have cystic hyperplastic changes in the breast. In addition to the benign proliferation of breast fibrous tissue and epithelium accompanied by cysts, there is also the formation of fibroadenomas. The development into breast cancer is absolutely low risk, or generally does not undergo malignant transformation. Therefore, it is referred to as cystic breast hyperplasia or poor breast structure. Generally, the treatment is mainly focused on emotional aspects, and if the pain intensifies, treatment with traditional Chinese medicine can be utilized.

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.
