People with hyperplasia of mammary glands can eat bamboo shoots. Foods rich in cellulose and vitamins can be consumed more often, although their mechanisms are not yet clear. However, it has been confirmed that cellulose can inhibit both breast cancer and colon cancer. Vitamin A also plays a role in protecting the mammary glands. It is advisable to reduce the intake of fats and high-calorie diets. Most epidemiological studies show that weight gain is associated with breast cancer, especially after menopause. Alcohol consumption should be limited as it is reported that it may increase estrogen levels in the body, leading to an increased risk of breast cancer in women. Regular breast ultrasound and mammography are needed for fibrocystic breast disease.

Can mild pain from lobular hyperplasia be ignored?

For mild pain associated with lobular hyperplasia, it may not require intervention but regular follow-up is needed. For more pronounced symptoms, symptomatic pharmaceutical treatment should be administered. Supporting the breasts with a bra, using traditional Chinese medicine to soothe the liver, regulate qi, and harmonize the Chong and Ren meridians may alleviate the pain. Endocrine treatment is another option, though generally avoided if possible. However, for severe pre-menopausal pain, taking vitamins such as B, C, and E before menstruation can help as they improve liver function, regulate hormone metabolism, and enhance autonomic nerve function. Vitamin E also helps alleviate pain.

What is bilateral mammary lobular hyperplasia?

Bilateral mammary lobular hyperplasia is a type of abnormal proliferative disease of the breast tissue. Patients with mammary hyperplasia primarily experience breast pain and have breast lumps, and it is a benign disease. This condition is caused by an imbalance in ovarian endocrine levels, changes in hormone levels in the body, and an increase in estrogen levels, leading to excessive proliferation and incomplete restoration of breast tissue. It is common in clinical practice to examine breast diseases when breast pain and lumps are present.

Will a bad mood make lobular hyperplasia worse?

Breast lobular hyperplasia can worsen with mood because it is related to elevated estrogen levels caused by endocrine disorders. External living conditions, work and life circumstances, interpersonal relationships, and various other stresses can cause neuropsychiatric factors, all of which can change the internal environment of the body. This, in turn, affects the function of the endocrine system, leading to abnormal secretion of one or several hormones. During the menstrual cycle, breast receptors and internal hormone levels change periodically. When the proportion of hormones in the body becomes unbalanced, an increase in estrogen levels and a decrease in progesterone secretion can lead to incomplete regression of breast hyperplasia after its increase, causing the exacerbation of breast hyperplasia.

Does lobular hyperplasia have classifications?

Breast hyperplasia grading and color Doppler mammography grading are the same: Grade 0 indicates incomplete assessment and requires further confirmation; Grade 1 is a negative result, meaning only the normal structure of the breast; Grade 2 are benign findings, indicating benign signs such as breast hyperplasia, breast cysts, and breast lipomas; Grade 3 refers to benign findings but with a 2% malignancy rate, such as fibroadenomas of the breast; Grade 4 is suspiciously malignant and biopsy is recommended; Grade 5 suggests a high likelihood of malignancy; Grade 6 is clearly malignant, needing pathological confirmation of malignancy.

Can grade II hyperplasia of small leaves become cancerous?

Fibrocystic change grade II generally does not become malignant. Fibrocystic change grade II refers to breast hyperplasia or benign tumors of the breast. It can be identified based on the typical symptoms of cyclic breast swelling and pain that worsens before menstruation and diminishes or disappears after menstruation. During physical examination, there are nodular masses of varying sizes accumulated inside the breast, which are firm but not hard, sometimes with tenderness. Ultrasound examinations show no masses, or mammography shows a cotton-wool appearance, which are main symptoms of breast hyperplasia, but the possibility of concurrent breast hyperplasia and breast cancer needs to be considered. On one hand, patients with significant breast hyperplasia should be closely followed up, advising them to return to the hospital for re-examination every two or three months; on the other hand, for those with obvious hyperplastic lumps or unclear boundaries in the thickened areas, it is recommended to perform a biopsy on suspicious lesions to prevent misdiagnosis.
