Misconceptions about breast hyperplasia are as follows: Myth 1: Breast hyperplasia can be cured by long-term oral medication In fact, breast hyperplasia is a group of chronic diseases or disease processes related to endocrine disorders. In fact, breast enlargement is a chronic disease or disease process related to endocrine imbalance. Generally, only the swelling and pain of the enlargement are treated, and no long-term treatment is needed after the above symptoms improve, and it is better not to take a kind of medicine for more than 1 month. Myth 2: Breast hyperplasia can become cancer Overall, breast hyperplasia is a benign disease and will not turn into breast cancer, and some people have reported that its cancer rate is less than 1%, and a prospective study in the UK has confirmed that breast hyperplasia is not a pre-cancerous condition, so there is no need to panic. Myth 3: Fine needle biopsy will cause breast hyperplasia to become malignant and tumor metastasis In fact, fine needle biopsy is a fast, convenient and accurate method to determine the nature of the disease, and fine needle biopsy (FNA) will not cause metastasis or malignant transformation of benign tumors. A survey of 100,000 cases of PNA in the UK did not find a single case of malignancy or metastasis caused by fine needle biopsy. Moreover, once the nature of the disease is quickly determined, especially the tumor, its subsequent treatment (surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy) will give the tumor no respite and bring survival benefits to the patient; on the contrary, untimely diagnosis, lack of understanding of the nature of the disease, and untimely treatment, on the contrary, will lead to metastasis and recurrence of the tumor. Myth 4: Isn’t the more mammography the better? Mammography is the best way to detect early breast cancer, but it is not necessary to repeat the examination within a short period of time, especially during puberty, pregnancy and lactation, the breast is sensitive to X-ray, and overexposure will increase the incidence of breast cancer, which is worth noting. Myth 5: Breast enlargement cannot be cured, and it will naturally get better when you have children or after menopause Breast enlargement recurrence is due to simple medication, not integrated treatment; insufficient course of treatment, stopping medication when the breast pain gets better after menstruation; when the effect is not good, it is not suspended in time to switch to surgery, which results in malignant changes; misdiagnosis of breast enlargement at the beginning, which is in fact breast cancer. With the breast enlargement during pregnancy, breast hyperplasia will be aggravated, breastfeeding is better, after weaning hyperplasia will be aggravated, so that after giving birth to a child breast hyperplasia will be cured is completely wrong. Myth 6: Breast hyperplasia does not need to be treated and can be cured by itself There is a process of transformation of normal breast epithelium to malignant, i.e. hyperplasia – atypical hyperplasia (pre-cancerous lesion) – carcinoma in situ – invasive carcinoma. Clinically, cystic hyperplasia is atypical hyperplasia, and its histologic changes are irreversible and called precancerous lesions. Breast diseases are divided into three categories: benign, junctional and malignant diseases. Benign ones include hyperplasia, fibroma, cyst, lipoma, papilloma, etc.; junctional ones are lobular cystosarcoma; malignant ones include lymphoma, breast cancer, breast metastatic carcinoma. With the improvement of living standard, the consumption of fat increases; the intake of some hormone foods and junk foods increases; late marriage and childbearing, mental tension, and the increase of employment pressure and other factors contribute to the high incidence of breast diseases. Some patients who do not know about this kind of disease blindly follow the so-called “expert opinion”, and all kinds of misunderstandings occur in the process of consultation. Myth 7: Breast enlargement does not need to be treated, every woman has premenstrual breast swelling and pain Breast enlargement is typically manifested in premenstrual breast swelling and pain, and after the menstrual period to alleviate or disappear. This is not normal. The disease is so common that many people take it for granted and do not go to the clinic, and some professional doctors do not think that treatment is needed, which makes many breast enlargement aggravated, or even cancerous. Most of the lobular hyperplasia does not need treatment 95% of patients with lobular hyperplasia have mild symptoms, which are benign and generally do not need treatment and can be cured by themselves. It should be noted that, under the influence of advertisements, many women take medications for breast hyperplasia, which often have little effect. About 1% of the patients will be transformed into the possibility of breast cancer. Therefore, in addition to self-examination at any time, women need to go to the hospital every six months for breast examination.
