1. What is breast hyperplasia? A: Breast hyperplasia refers to the proliferation of breast epithelium and fibrous tissue, degenerative lesions in the structure of ducts and lobules of breast tissue and the growth of progressive connective tissues. Breast hyperplasia is the physiological hyperplasia of normal lobules of the mammary glands with the incomplete restoration of the normal structure of the mammary glands in a disorder, which is a pathological hyperplasia. 2. What are the causes of breast hyperplasia? Why do women get breast hyperplasia? A: Why do women get breast hyperplasia while men rarely get it? This involves the difference between men and women lies in the different levels of estrogen, this disease is the body of female hormone metabolic disorders: (1) estrogen, progesterone ratio imbalance, so that the breast parenchyma hyperplasia and recuperation of incomplete; (2) part of the breast parenchyma components of the female hormone receptors in the quality and quantity of the abnormality; Dietary irrationality: such as fat intake is too much, it can affect the ovary’s endocrine, strengthen the stimulation of estrogen on the breast epithelial cells, thus resulting in Breast hyperplasia. Other human factors: abortion, not giving birth or giving birth above the age of 30, not breastfeeding (in the past, when people had eight or ten children, there was very little breast cancer because every pregnancy and breastfeeding, the mammary ducts matured once, and the ability to fight against cancer is also strong once), husband and wife do not get along with each other, hormone-containing health care products, etc., wearing too tight a bra, too tight a bra is easy to oppress lymphatic and blood circulation, which is harmful to the health of the mammary glands. Mental factors, emotions: mental overstress, emotional over-excitement and other adverse mental factors, may make the original recovery of breast hyperplasia tissue can not be recovered or recovery is incomplete, over time, the formation of breast hyperplasia, and these adverse mental stimuli will also aggravate the existing symptoms of breast hyperplasia. 3.What are the clinical manifestations of breast hyperplasia? Answer: The prominent manifestations are breast swelling and pain and breast lumps, characterized by periodicity in some patients; physical examination reveals that there is diffuse chronic thickening in one or both mammary glands, which can be confined to a part of the mammary glands or dispersed throughout the whole mammary glands, and the lumps are granular, nodular or flaky, with varying sizes, tough but not hard, and the thickened area is not clearly demarcated from the surrounding mammary tissues; and a few patients may have nipple overflow. 4.Is breast hyperplasia prone to cancer? Why are women afraid of breast enlargement? Answer: Breast hyperplasia is usually not cancerous, only when there is moderate to severe atypical hyperplasia in the epithelial cells of breast ducts, cancer may occur, and the chance is not more than 5%, the important thing is that breast cancer and cystic hyperplasia have the possibility of coexisting at the same time. Therefore, patients with risk factors that predispose them to breast cancer should have regular checkups. Because of the fear of breast cancer and the lack of understanding of breast hyperplasia, when breast pain occurs, one will immediately think that he/she has cancer and consult a doctor immediately, which is not a bad thing in itself, because attaching importance to oneself will reduce the chances of contracting the disease, but I want to tell you one thing: Breast pain is usually not cancerous. But I want to tell you that breast pain is usually not cancerous, and patients who really have cancer usually don’t have pain. 5.How to treat breast hyperplasia? A: No obvious symptoms without treatment Avoid emotional excitement, maintain a relaxed mood; avoid excessive stretching of the upper limbs and weight-bearing; avoid pressure on the mammary glands, hold the mammary glands up; medication: traditional Chinese medicine, vitamins, tamoxifen, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs 1, Chinese medicine treatment, including the internal method: for the cause of mammary hyperplasia to activate blood circulation to remove blood stasis and eliminate stasis to dissipate knots for the purpose of the treatment; generally one month for a course of treatment, the menstrual period can be No need to serve, according to the condition of the general application of 1-2 months; disadvantage is that the stomach is not good can not be used, want to have children can not be used, have a history of drug allergies can not be used, need to avoid eating, eat less or do not eat cold and spicy food. External method: the external application of traditional Chinese medicine, the current patch is more, the drug contained in the composition is similar to the oral Chinese medicine. The main problem of the patch is that it is easy to cause skin allergies for a long time, so I generally recommend that patients stick it at night and take it off during the day. This kind of patch is suitable for patients who have a bad stomach and can’t take Chinese medicine orally, but for the whole mammary gland is painful, there is no clear pain part of the patient is not applicable. 2.Tamoxifen: start taking it orally 5 days after menstruation, twice a day, 10mg each time, stop after 15 days. Because of the effect on the endometrium and ovaries, it should not be taken for a long time. Surgical treatment 6. Can breast massage and acupuncture be used? A: With professional qualifications of massage therapist can be moderate massage: the main choice of the following two techniques, the operation should be gentle mainly. 1, push stroking method: patients take a sitting position or side lying position, fully expose the chest. First in the affected side of the breast on some talcum powder or coated with a little paraffin oil, and then the whole palm of both hands from the breast around the mammary ducts along the nipple direction gently pushed and stroked 50 to 100 times. 2, kneading pressure method: to the palm of the small fish or big fish on the affected area, in the red swelling and pain in the place of light kneading techniques, hard lumps in the place of repeated kneading pressure several times, until the lumps are soft. 7, how to prevent breast hyperplasia? A: 1, good habits, life should be regular, work and rest, regular work and rest time, do not stay up late. Irregular work and rest will make hormone secretion disorders, aggravate breast hyperplasia. Maintain a happy mood, less anger and fire, less upper limb strength, mammary glands do not squeeze, do not lie down to sleep. 2, reduce the body estrogen body fat metabolism products will produce estrogen, aggravate breast hyperplasia, so more exercise, consume too much fat, prevent obesity. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the protection of the liver and the elimination of excess estrogen by the liver. Reduce fat intake, increased fat will increase the stimulating effect of estrogen on breast ductal epithelium. 3, control estrogen intake, prohibit the abuse of contraceptive drugs and estrogen-containing beauty products, eat less poultry and aquatic products fed with hormone-containing feeds, be cautious of using estrogen-containing health care products, and be cautious of using hormone replacement therapy to alleviate menopausal symptoms. 8.How to distinguish the severity of breast hyperplasia? A: Before menstruation, there is physiological hyperplasia of breast lobules, accompanied by slight pain, recurrence after menstruation, disappearance of pain, ultrasound and molybdenum target did not see obvious nodules and cysts, this situation should be considered as a physiological change, to be exact, can not be considered as a disease; when there is obvious ductal epithelial papillary hyperplasia, accompanied by the formation of cysts of varying sizes and fibrous tissue hyperplasia around the time, then it will be called as a disease, the scientific name of cystic hyperplasia of breasts. In this case, the patient is mainly characterized by increased or persistent pain, and the lump or breast thickening does not diminish with the passing of menstruation. If the ductal epithelial cells appear moderate to severe atypical hyperplasia, then it is predicted that the condition is more serious and there is a risk of cancer, which requires surgical intervention. 9. How to check for breast hyperplasia? A: Therefore, in order to detect possible breast cancer at an early stage, patients should be instructed to go to the hospital for rechecking every 2 to 3 months, and biopsy should be carried out if necessary, especially for unilateral and limited lesions, more vigilance should be raised. Breast ultrasound and molybdenum target are the most commonly used means of checking at present, and of course, there is also breast magnetic resonance, but because of its high price, it has not yet been popularized and applied. Breast ultrasound is the least invasive and can be done at any time. Mammogram is radioactive, so it is recommended to check it once a year, or once every six months for a few patients who are sensitive to mammogram. It is best to do it within 5 days after menstruation, when the breasts are obviously recuperated. For patients with severe breast pain, if there is no special need, it is not recommended to do the mammogram, because the breasts will be clamped and aggravate the pain. Ultrasound and molybdenum target each has its own strengths, it is recommended that ultrasound every 3-6 months to review, molybdenum target every year to check, there is no one kind of examination is absolutely irreplaceable. 10. What are the different names of breast hyperplasia? How to diagnose? A: Breast hyperplasia, lobular hyperplasia, cystic hyperplasia, adenopathy of the breast, benign breast dysplasia, fibrocystic hyperplasia of the breast, no matter what the name is, in fact, it is a different development process of the disease.
