Breast Enlargement Basics Q&A

What are the causes and manifestations of breast hyperplasia? Breast hyperplasia is neither a tumor nor an inflammatory disease, it mainly manifests as breast pain, lumps and pressure pain, and most of them will not be cured after menopause. These symptoms do not mean that the mammary glands themselves are sick, but some triggers, such as anger, anxiety, fatigue, poor rest and other factors lead to endocrine disorders resulting in the mammary glands increased sensitivity, and the symptoms will be alleviated on their own after the removal of the corresponding triggers. Is this mammary gland hyperplasia and mastopexy the same thing? Breast enlargement and mastocytosis are two different things. Breast enlargement is not a disease, it is a process of physiological changes in normal women, including adult women who do not have any symptoms of breast enlargement. And breast hyperplasia is a pathologic diagnosis, what is a pathologic diagnosis? It is a disease that is diagnosed under the microscope by removing tissue from the breast and sending it for pathologic examination, thus there is a difference between the two. You just said that the breast hyperplasia, which is what our patients usually call breast enlargement, refers to the first situation. When we talk about breast enlargement, we have to talk about breast cancer, and many people are concerned about whether breast enlargement will definitely develop into breast cancer. As mentioned earlier, breast hyperplasia is neither a tumor nor an inflammatory disease, it is a structural disorder of the breast caused by endocrine disorders in women, which mainly manifests itself in breast pain, lumps and pressure pain, and the vast majority of them will be healed after menopause, and there is no inevitable connection between breast hyperplasia and breast cancer. That is to say, it is not a given that breast enlargement will develop into breast cancer. How do we usually determine whether this kind of pain is physiological pain? With my introduction just now, it is not difficult to understand that higher hormone levels before menstruation stimulate the ductal epithelium to proliferate, the breast interstitium is congested and edematous, and then there will be breast swelling and pain, and there will be a lump when you touch it. As if the pelvic congestion and edema during menstruation, menstruation, we will feel abdominal distension, falling and other discomforts, abdominal distension and falling this discomfort we ordinary female friends will be considered normal menstruation, very few people because of this to the hospital, then to the pre-menstrual breast distension and the reason is the same ah, when you understand the reasoning, you will not be worried about it, the majority of patients who go to the hospital are Physiologic pain, not a big problem. The above is cyclic breast swelling and pain, there are also some patients who have lost the regularity of the pain, not with the menstrual cycle changes and the pain, we call non-cyclic pain. The onset of non-cyclic pain is also related to endocrine disorders, not only is the normal female physiological hormone levels, but also blocked a variety of other factors, such as just mentioned anxious, angry, tired, poor rest, etc., if you can pay attention to these aspects of life to adjust the appropriate mood, pay attention to rest, appropriate decompression and most of them can be alleviated on their own, this situation is still considered to be a physiological phenomenon, and will not be taken as a pathology. Is it true that the more severe the pain, the more serious the problem? The degree of breast pain and the severity of the disease is not proportional to the degree of pain, some of the pain is particularly strong in fact is the pain caused by increased sensitivity of the glands, the problem is not big, some of the pain is not itchy breast cancer, so we can not use the degree of breast pain to judge the severity of the disease. However, some cysts, ductal dilatation, breast cancer and other diseases themselves will cause pain, most of this pain does not change with the menstrual cycle, some have a fixed pain area, this pain is related to the disease pain, how to identify it? So we say that your symptoms are not physiological is the need to go to the hospital to let the doctor to make a judgment. Do you have to take medication to relieve breast enlargement? What is the treatment? After taking a medical history, physical examination, and imaging tests to make sure that there is no breast cancer or other related diseases, most patients do not need treatment. The reassurance and explanation that breast cancer has been ruled out by “normal test results” is sufficient. Regular follow-up of patients with breast hyperplasia is the key to avoiding missed diagnosis of breast cancer, and it is recommended that they attend regular physical examinations by breast specialists once a year. Treatment is often needed for some patients with significant pain or who are affecting their lives and workers. This is because these patients with larger lumps and heavier pain will affect their studies and work, and will increase their psychological burden, which will get worse. The treatment of breast hyperplasia does not have a particularly effective method, mainly symptomatic treatment, treatment is difficult to restore the histological changes of breast hyperplasia. We can take physical therapy, take medication, or apply drugs externally to relieve the symptoms. After the symptoms are relieved, in the future life and then pay attention to the details of life that I have just talked about the precautions, you will avoid a more serious situation in the future. The question that many people are concerned about is whether breast enlargement can be eliminated? Most of the breast hyperplasia itself is not pathological, is the corresponding symptoms caused by endocrine disorders, as long as you have menstruation, as long as you have seven feelings and six desires, it is difficult to ensure that their own endocrine levels continue to be in a very stable state, therefore, it is not out of the root of the problem, can only pay more attention to some of the aspects of life I just said, and then there are regularly to the hospital for breast specialist checkups. How do we prevent breast enlargement in our lives? What should we pay attention to? a. Psychological treatment is very important, due to the lack of knowledge of the disease, some undesirable factors such as anger, fatigue, overstress, anxiety, depression, stimulation, poor rest and so on to neurasthenia, will aggravate the endocrine imbalance, aggravate the symptoms, and thus maintain a good mood, try not to be anxious, not angry, not afraid of rest in the treatment of breast hyperplasia is very important. Most of the patients are afraid of cancer mood serious, when the examination confirmed that there is no big problem, in fact, the disease is also a good half. b. Regular life, work and rest, healthy diet, more exercise to prevent obesity, these can regulate endocrine disorders, to maintain smooth bowel movement will reduce breast swelling and pain. c. Prohibit the abuse of contraceptive pills and estrogen-containing beauty products. d. Women should get married and have children at the right age, prolong the breastfeeding time as much as possible (we think it is suitable for about 1 year), and avoid abortion. e. Self-examination and regular review.
