Causes.
Endocrine factors are the cause of mastocytosis. Most scholars believe that it is related to ovarian endocrine imbalance. Elevated estrogen levels and decreased progesterone levels or an imbalance in the ratio of estrogen to progesterone, which leads to excessive hyperplasia or incomplete replenishment of the mammary glands and fibrosis, triggering mastalgia, tissue disorganization, varying degrees of hyperplasia of the ductal epithelium and fibrous tissue of the mammary glands and the formation of cysts in the terminal ducts or alveoli. Therefore, it has been proposed that mastocytosis is associated with increased sensitivity of breast tissue to sex hormones.
Under normal circumstances, every woman may experience mild or severe swelling and pain in one or both breasts before each menstrual period, and then it naturally disappears after the period. However, when the body is under the action of certain stress factors, it may lead to breast hyperplasia that should have been recovered by the breast does not recover or recovery is incomplete, over time, the formation of breast hyperplasia, due to the most important hormone balance in the human body, women in the 30 to 50 years of age, is the peak of estrogen secretion in the body, many gynecological diseases such as breast cancer, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, etc., a considerable part of the endocrine Many gynecological diseases, such as breast cancer, uterine cancer and ovarian cancer, are caused by endocrine disorders, high estrogen levels and the accumulation of metabolic waste in the body.
In modern society, life and work are stressful and the mind is often under high tension, which is also one of the causes of breast pain. In addition, lifestyle habits such as a high-fat, high-protein diet may also play a part.
Performance.
1, breast pain: often swelling or stabbing pain, can involve one or both breasts, to one side is more common, the pain is severe can not be touched, and even affect daily life and work. The pain can be radiated to the ipsilateral armpit or back of the shoulder; part of it can be manifested as nipple pain or itching. Breast pain often appears or worsens a few days before menstruation, and after menstruation the pain is significantly reduced or disappears; pain can also fluctuate with emotional changes, exertion, and weather changes. This pain associated with the menstrual cycle and emotional changes is the main feature of the clinical manifestations of mastopathy.
2, breast lumps: lumps can occur unilaterally or bilaterally in the breast, single or multiple, generally preferably in the upper outer quadrant of the breast. They may appear as lamellae, nodules, or cords of different sizes, with lamellae being the most common. The borders are not obvious, the texture is medium or slightly hard, and there is no adhesion to the surrounding tissues, often with tenderness. Most breast lumps also have the characteristic of changing with the menstrual cycle, with the lumps increasing in size and hardening before menstruation and shrinking and softening after menstruation.
3, nipple overflow: a few patients may have nipple overflow, spontaneous overflow, mostly pale yellow or pale milky white, there are also a few by squeezing the nipple visible overflow. Caution is needed if there is bloody or coffee-colored overflow.
Prevention.
The first method: eat more low-fat and high-fiber foods
The first way is to follow a “low-fat, high-fiber” diet and eat more whole grains, beans and vegetables to increase the body’s metabolic pathways and reduce the negative stimulation of the breast. In addition, control the intake of animal protein, can prevent excessive estrogen, such as breast enlargement. (Kelp, kelp is an alkaline food, which can change its own acidic body. Soybeans, soybeans and soy products contain isoflavones, a substance that can lower estrogen levels in women’s bodies and reduce breast discomfort. Vegetables, vegetables are rich in vitamins, which can replenish the body with the substances it needs and improve immunity. Patients with mastopexy should try to eat less coffee, chocolate and other foods that can contribute to more serious mastopexy.)
The second method: harmonious sexual intercourse
A harmonious sexual relationship is a condition of conjugal love, and a recipe for regulating endocrine secretion, stimulating progesterone secretion, and increasing the protection of the mammary glands. Of course, sex will also stimulate estrogen secretion. But under the watchful eye of progesterone, estrogen can only dutifully exercise its breast enlargement duties and has no chance to cause breast enlargement. In addition, sexual heat can also speed up the blood circulation, to avoid the breast due to the poor operation of qi and blood and mastopathy.
The third method: add vitamins and minerals
If the body lacks B vitamins, vitamin C or calcium, magnesium and other minerals, it will affect the synthesis of prostaglandins, and the breast will be stimulated by other hormones that cause hyperplasia.
The fourth method: pregnancy, breastfeeding
Pregnancy and breastfeeding are a good solution for breast enlargement. When progesterone production is sufficient, it can give protection to the breast and help repair it. In addition, breastfeeding will enable the mammary glands to develop fully and degenerate well after weaning, making them less prone to hyperplasia.
The fifth method: regulating menstruation
It has been clinically found that women with disrupted menstrual cycles are more likely to suffer from breast enlargement than others. Therefore, by regulating menstruation through endocrine regulation, you can prevent as well as treat mastocytosis.
The sixth method: maintain a good mood
The most fearful thing about breast enlargement is the good mood, because only when the mood is good, the normal ovulation of the ovaries will not be obstructed by bad mood, and the secretion of progesterone will not be reduced, so the breast will not be stimulated unilaterally by estrogen and mastopexy. The mammary glands that have been enlarged will also recover slowly under the action of progesterone.
The seventh method: regular sleep
Sleep is not only good for endocrine balance, but also provides a good environment for various hormones in the body to perform their health effects in a balanced manner.
Treatment.
There are many types of mammary gland hyperplasia, some are completely physiological and can subside on their own without special treatment, such as simple mammary gland hyperplasia; some are pathological and require active treatment, especially the cystic hyperplasia type, due to the possibility of cancer.
1, simple breast hyperplasia is also known as breast pain. It is most common among young patients and is characterized by obvious periodic breast swelling and pain, which disappears on its own after menstruation. The pain is mainly localized in the breast, but sometimes it can radiate to the ipsilateral armpit, chest wall and back. Patients can usually correct the pain slowly by adjusting their emotions and maintaining balance. If the pain is more pronounced, you can also take some medication. Currently, our hospital uses medication for breast enlargement. It has the effect of activating blood circulation, removing blood stasis, moving qi and phlegm, treating both the symptoms and the root cause, with remarkable clinical results.
2, the basis of breast adenopathy lesion is the expansion of both breast lobules and ducts in the breast and the hyperplasia of the tissue around the gland, which is the further development of the initial hyperplasia of the breast. Symptoms are more severe than before. Patients have breast pain, which is not cyclical and is mostly related to emotional changes, and breast tingling can be clearly felt when angry and tired. In addition the pain can radiate to the shoulders and back. For the treatment of this type of hyperplasia, our hospital uses oral ?
3, cystic hyperplasia of the breast is characterized by a high degree of expansion of the lobules, small ducts and terminal ducts of the breast and the formation of cysts, along with some other structural malformations. It usually begins between the ages of thirty and thirty-four, with a peak between the ages of forty and forty-nine, and there is a possibility of malignant transformation. The disease is associated with endocrine stimulation of the ovaries. Clinically, single or multiple nodules, pain, and nipple discharge are common. Survey data show that patients with cystic hyperplasia of the breast have three to five times the chance of developing malignant tumors of the breast than the average woman, and there is pathological confirmation that 20-61% of malignant tumors of the breast are complicated by cystic hyperplasia. Therefore, it is the duty of every female patient to actively treat cystic hyperplasia of the breast.
Most of the lumps in breast cancer are painless, isolated single lumps with hard texture and poorly defined from the surrounding tissues. Most of the treatments for breast cancer are surgical resection, which is divided into breast-conserving treatment, radiation treatment and total excision surgery.
