1, mammary hyperplasia is not a tumor: mammary hyperplasia is a non-inflammatory and non-tumor common breast disease, is a physiological hyperplasia occurs under the stimulation of estrogen, after the mammary tissue recuperation incomplete structural disorders caused by. Therefore, some people call it “mammary gland dysplasia”. 2, the onset and endocrine disorders are closely related: although the cause of breast hyperplasia is not yet very clear. But one thing is certain, this disease and ovarian endocrine imbalance has a close relationship. With the changes in ovarian function during the menstrual cycle, the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body also show cyclic changes, estrogen promotes the growth of breast ducts and periductal fibrous tissue, and progesterone promotes the development of breast lobules and follicular tissue. With the change of estrogen and progesterone levels during the menstrual cycle, the structure of the breast tissue undergoes cyclic changes of physiological proliferation and regeneration. If the level of estrogen is too high or the level of progesterone is too low or there is a lack of coordination between the two, it will cause incomplete breast regeneration and structural disorders, i.e. breast hyperplasia. Pain is the most common symptom: the most common manifestation of the disease is breast pain, which is mostly cyclic premenstrual swelling or pinprick pain, and can involve the armpit, and can be reduced or subsided after menstruation. There are also some patients whose pain does not change with the menstrual cycle. However, breast pain after menopause should be highly valued. 4, the lump is not a common manifestation: most patients will feel that they have a lump (usually also self-examination method is not correct, with the hand grasp pinch rather than with the fingertips touch). In fact, breast hyperplasia is often manifested in the breast in many places in the form of lumps, cords, cotton wool or granular glandular tissue thickening. It looks like a lump when you look at it, but it is not a lump. However, in a small number of severe cases, multiple cysts may form in the breast and a well defined lump may be seen. Ultrasound of the breast can usually determine whether there is a real lump or nodule. 5, drug treatment as a supplement, psychological, dietary treatment: the disease has no specific treatment. It is characterized by chronic process and recurrence. However, for a large part of patients, if the symptoms are not serious, no drug treatment. Some of these patients may heal themselves. Therefore, patients should pay attention to psychological self-regulation and eliminate psychological barriers. Those with severe symptoms can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine. For severe cases and those with high risk factors for breast cancer, some of them may use triamcinolone acetonide and so on. However, these drugs interfere with the hormone metabolism of human body and should be taken under the guidance of doctor. Surgical treatment is not effective for this disease. It can only be used as a means to confirm the diagnosis if the possibility of malignancy cannot be ruled out. Chinese medicine is relatively effective and safe treatment. 6, life in the self-regulation is very important: pay attention to eat low-fat, rich in fiber, vitamin diet. As far as possible to maintain a regular lifestyle, appropriate physical exercise are conducive to the recovery of the disease. Especially for breast pain patients, avoid fear, tension and depression, maintain a good mental state is very important. 7, breast hyperplasia disease will be malignant statement has no basis: on whether the disease will be malignant, in the medical profession has not been conclusive. But at least so far, there is not enough evidence to show that breast hyperplasia has a clear relationship with breast cancer. It is generally believed that breast hyperplasia is only one of the many risk factors for breast cancer. 8, pay attention to regular review is the key: breast hyperplasia is generally not the main manifestation of breast lumps, and generally will not be transformed into breast cancer. However, it is worth noting that the lumps of breast cancer in the early stage are small, which are not easy to detect and may be mixed with breast hyperplasia, and sometimes it is not easy for doctors to identify them. Therefore, patients are reminded that they should pay attention to regular checkups in hospitals and regular mammograms or ultrasounds to prevent breast cancer from being under-diagnosed, and doctors should not diagnose breast hyperplasia just based on empirical hand diagnosis. 9, women’s common diseases, men can not be spared: the disease for women’s common diseases, prevalent in 30 – 50 years old. Statistics show that about 1/4-1/3 of women have suffered from this disease in their lifetime. Occasionally, it is also seen in men, mainly manifested as breast enlargement and pain, but unlike women, it mostly occurs unilaterally. 10, objectively speaking Chinese medicine treatment of breast hyperplasia effect is still good! Why do many doctors think that breast enlargement is not curable and does not need to be treated? This issue is more complex, most of the academic debate. In layman’s terms, because there is no objective and effective drug or method that can effectively prevent the development of cancer, including breast cancer, in other words, even if breast enlargement is cured at this stage, there is no guarantee that you will not develop breast cancer in the future, and therefore there is indeed a big controversy on the treatment of breast enlargement abroad. Therefore, I do not only give medication to patients with breast enlargement disease, but also hope that the patients can acquire some self-care awareness that every woman should master by attending my clinic, such as: making it a habit to have a self-breast checkup on the fifth day of each month after menstruation or on a fixed day of each month after menopause (for details, please refer to the animation in the lower right corner of the homepage); having a specialized breast checkup once a year, including an ultrasound, and an annual breast checkup for women over 40 years of age. An annual specialized breast examination including an ultrasound, and an annual mammogram for women over 40 years of age —– is a lifelong healthcare tool for women in order to detect breast cancer as early as possible. Early breast cancer has a good chance of being cured and usually does not require mastectomy, and in some cases, chemotherapy is not even necessary. ——- Therefore, early breast cancer is not very scary, and the key is to diagnose and treat it as early as possible! Of course, good dietary habits, happy and healthy emotions, moderate exercise, and Chinese medicine treatment can help reduce the chance of breast cancer. Therefore, I still suggest that patients with breast hyperplasia should undergo a period of observation and treatment with TCM, not only to control the further development of hyperplasia, but also to alleviate the symptoms, relieve anxiety and improve the quality of life of the patients. Moreover, the main purpose of TCM is to regulate the imbalance of your body (hyperplasia may be an external signal of internal imbalance of the body), so that you can regain your health!
