Mastocytosis is the proliferation of mammary epithelium and fibrous tissue, structural degenerative lesions of the ducts and lobules of the breast tissue and the growth of progressive connective tissue, the cause of which is mainly due to endocrine hormonal imbalance. Mastocytosis is the most common breast disease in women, and its incidence accounts for the first place in breast diseases. In recent years, the incidence of the disease has been increasing year by year, and the age is getting younger and younger. According to the survey, about 70% to 80% of women have varying degrees of breast enlargement, mostly seen in women aged 25 to 45.
Mammary gland hyperplasia is a common gynecological disease. It occurs in middle-aged women between the ages of 25 and 39, because this is the period when women are most sexually active. It is characterized by the growth of single or multiple lumps in different parts of the breast, with soft texture, unclear borders, movable, and often accompanied by varying degrees of pain. Especially before menstruation, after exertion, or during mood swings such as anger (called qi yu in Chinese medicine), the lumps increase in size and the pain worsens, while after menstruation the lumps shrink significantly and the pain decreases. The pain is usually distension and rarely stabbing. It should be reminded that breast enlargement has the potential to turn into breast pain, so if you have had breast enlargement for a longer period of time you should go to the hospital for a checkup for timely diagnosis and treatment.
Generally speaking, women are sentimental, and when they are not well, the fire of the heart and liver will rise up, and the liver meridian passes through the breast and follows the two sides, resulting in qi depression and phlegm condensation in the breast. Therefore, Chinese medicine generally uses the method of soothing the liver and relieving depression, moving qi and resolving phlegm. In addition, you can also apply some deer horn gum and other “qi tonic”, feasible blood in the qi, and thus the best results in treating breast disease.
Mammary hyperplasia is a physiological hyperplasia of the normal breast lobules with incomplete replenishment, forming a disruption of the normal structure of the breast, with the epithelial cells and connective tissue of the ducts of the mammary vesicles proliferating as the basic pathological changes, belonging to the pathological hyperplasia, which is neither inflammatory nor tumor-like disease. Lobular hyperplasia occurs in about 50% of women of childbearing age, mostly in women aged 30-50 years, with a peak incidence of 35-40 years. The true cause of the disease is still unclear and may be related to unbalanced hormone levels in the body or the greater sensitivity of breast tissue to sex hormones. around 2010, it is mostly thought to be related to endocrine disorders and psychological factors. Decreased secretion of luteinizing hormone and relatively increased estrogen are important causes of this disease.
Some people call mastocytosis the “modern disease” of women, and it is the most common breast disease in middle-aged women, with a peak at the age of 30-50, and less common in adolescence and postmenopause.
So, why is mastopexy prone to occur in the 30-50 age group? The reasons are as follows.
1. Breast symptoms are synchronized with changes in breast tissue, that is, with changes in the menstrual cycle (ovarian function). That is, with the cyclical changes in estrogen and progesterone levels in the body, circumferential hyperplasia and rejuvenation occur. The main histological change in mastocytosis is the hyperplasia and incomplete recovery of the breast essence. This phenomenon is the result of the imbalance of estrogen and progesterone ratio.
2, Patients are mostly sex hormone secreting period, the disease is rare in pre-puberty and declines after menopause, consistent with the rise and fall of ovarian function.
3, from the irregular performance of breast lesions on the breast, also indicates that it is caused by endocrine influence. Clinically, most patients with mastopathy occur on the non-lactating side, or on the non-lactating side with heavy symptoms. In contrast, mastocytosis (especially breast pain) in unmarried, infertile patients can mostly be relieved or self-healed after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding.
As a disease with a certain history, mastocytosis has been documented and studied in Chinese medicine in China.
