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.

Early symptoms of mammary gland hyperplasia

The early symptoms of mammary gland hyperplasia are cyclic swelling pain, which worsens before menstruation and diminishes or disappears after menstruation, with these being the typical symptoms. During a physical examination, nodular lumps of varying sizes can be felt within the breast, which are firm but not hard, and sometimes tender to the touch. Ultrasonography may not show any lumps, or mammography may reveal a cotton-wool-like appearance, which can diagnose mammary gland hyperplasia. However, it is crucial to be cautious of the potential coexistence of mammary gland hyperplasia and breast cancer. On one hand, patients with significant hyperplasia should be closely followed up, advised to return to the hospital every two to three months for re-examination. On the other hand, for patients with significant hyperplastic lumps or unclear boundaries in the thickening type of mammary glands, a biopsy is recommended.

Symptoms of lobular hyperplasia cancerization

The symptoms of lobular hyperplasia transforming into cancer primarily include feeling a painless, solitary small lump in the breast. The lump is hard, with a rough surface, and its boundary with surrounding tissue is not clearly defined. It is not easily movable within the breast. As the lump progresses, it can invade the Cooper's ligaments, causing them to contract, and thus the skin over the lump often appears dimpled, known as the dimpling sign, which is an early sign of breast cancer. As breast cancer continues to develop, it can cause the breast to shrink, become harder, elevate the nipple, and may lead to the ducts being pulled, flattened, retracted, or even invaginated. The affected breast may also significantly enlarge over several months, causing an increase in volume and prominence.

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.

Will hyperplasia recur after excision?

After the excision of lobular hyperplasia, recurrence generally occurs because mammary gland hyperplasia is related to the glandular tissue, which is associated with the disruption of endocrine balance leading to increased levels of estrogen. External environmental conditions for survival, work and living conditions, interpersonal relationships, and various other stress-induced psycho-neurological factors can alter the body’s internal environment. This, in turn, affects the function of the endocrine system, causing the secretion of one or several hormones to become abnormal. During the menstrual cycle, the hormonal levels within the breast receptors change cyclically. When the balance of estrogen in the body is disrupted, with an increase in estrogen levels and a decrease in progesterone secretion, it can result in incomplete regression of mammary gland hyperplasia, leading to an exacerbation of the condition.

Why are there lymph nodes under the armpit in lobular hyperplasia?

Breast lobular hyperplasia generally does not involve enlargement of the lymph nodes. The enlargement of lymph nodes can be physiological or pathological. Physiological enlargement is either congenital or caused by inflammation, whereas pathological enlargement is generally caused by breast cancer. Lymph nodes affected by breast cancer can be located and fixed in the armpit, and may also be palpable above or below the clavicle. Lobular hyperplasia is related to the levels of hormones in the body; it is not inflammatory, but mainly associated with increased estrogen levels. There may also be variations in the quality and quantity of estrogen receptors in the breast tissue components, leading to uneven development in different parts of the breast.
