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)

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.

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.

Breast hyperplasia

Breast hyperplasia is neither a tumor nor an inflammation; it is currently believed to be mainly related to endocrine disorders, leading to increased levels of estrogen. Factors such as the external environment in which people live, work and living conditions, interpersonal relationships, and other various stresses can cause changes in a person’s internal environment. These changes can affect the function of the endocrine system, leading to the abnormal secretion of one or several hormones, resulting in hormonal imbalances that cause breast hyperplasia.

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.
