How to properly face mastocytosis

1, unveil the veil of mammary gland hyperplasia Women’s monthly physiological cycle, the body sex hormone levels show cyclical changes, the corresponding breast glands also show pre-menstrual hyperplasia (clinical manifestations of swelling and pain, breast swelling, lump enlargement, thickening, etc.), after the menstrual gland regression (manifestation of the above symptoms relief), which is a physiological phenomenon. This is a physiological phenomenon. When menstrual disorders are caused by various factors, such as irregularities in menstruation, changes in hormone levels in the body, overexertion, anxiety and stress, or intense emotional changes, or poor dietary habits, this cyclical change is disturbed, i.e., excessive premenstrual hyperplasia or postmenstrual regression is not in place, and the clinical manifestations are various pains, lumps, nipple overflow and other symptoms, which are called “breast This is called “hyperplasia”. There are professional criteria for whether or not drug intervention is needed or whether or not it is called a “disease”, but patients should understand the nature of this change. 2, take off the “disease” hat of breast enlargement Many unmarried women in their twenties, or even high school students who have just reached puberty, worryingly say: “I have breast enlargement”; other young and middle-aged patients say: “I have breast enlargement Some young and middle-aged patients say, “I have breast enlargement for more than ten or twenty years. In fact, mammary gland hyperplasia is a very important physiological phenomenon in a woman’s life, from early childhood breast development, to puberty breast development and maturity, to pregnancy and lactation, these stages are in a state of hyperplasia due to different physiological mechanisms and functions. If young women do not have hyperplasia at this time, they may be in more trouble. This stage is more suitable to be called “mastoproliferative state”. Therefore, there is no need for young patients to put on the mastopathy label prematurely. The late childbearing period until menopause, when the breast is in gradual regression and atrophy, is the age of high incidence of mastocytosis. The doctor will take different treatment methods for different patients from a professional perspective. 3, simple breast pain or not to take medicine Many patients, especially young people with “breast enlargement status”, only come to the clinic with breast pain as a symptom, whether or not they need medication depends on the degree of pain, duration, the degree of relief after menstruation, the impact on work and rest, etc. It needs to be clear that 1) pain is not terrible, and painless breast lumps should be even more alert!!! ! 2) Medication is only an aid to relieve symptoms, a good attitude and lifestyle habits are more important. It is impossible to rely on drugs to treat breast enlargement for the rest of your life. 4. How to use the most reasonable medication The practice of many patients is to eat for a few days when they are in pain, and not eat when they are not in pain or when they are busy and forget. The result is years of constant visits to the doctor, constant medication, constant spending, and constant pain and enlargement on the other side. My advice, if the pain is not obvious, relax and have regular checkups; if you need adjunctive medication, standardize your medication, continue for 2 to 3 menstrual cycles, and then stop after the symptoms are relieved without recurrence. 5, can mastocytosis be cured Many patients ask this question. As already mentioned, mastocytosis is a pre-menopausal physiological phenomenon in women. Therefore, there is no question of a cure. As long as there are no occupying lesions, no obvious pain or pain does not affect life and work, then relax and face it openly. 6.Will breast enlargement become breast cancer? This is the main reason for patients’ clinical fear. Evidence-based medical evidence shows that the risk of cancer in patients with common breast enlargement is 1.9 times higher than the incidence rate of normal population. Mastocytosis in this context is defined as a growth with clear pathological changes, which many patients with clinical pain are not. In other words, the relationship between mastopathy and breast cancer is far from what we fear. And the most common pre-cancerous lesions that doctors say include atypical hyperplasia and carcinoma in situ (which requires pathological diagnostic evidence) have 5 to 10 times the risk of invasive cancer, and this is the part that clinicians and patients need to be highly alert to! 7.Mastocytosis is not scary, what should we be more concerned about? Women of different ages have different prevalent diseases, for example, benign fibroadenoma is more common in young patients, and the incidence of breast cancer in young and middle-aged women is increasing year by year and has a younger trend. Therefore, both patients and doctors should be more concerned about whether there is something growing in the breast, that is, whether there is a lump!!! Ultrasound and mammography especially mammography is the most handy weapon for breast surgeons and it is important! Mammography can detect early cancers that are not detected by body checkups and ultrasound, and is recommended for high-risk groups to be checked once a year. 8.What about breast lumps? When breast lumps are detected by imaging, it’s time for breast surgeons to take the lead in treatment. What patients need to do is to face it openly with a calm mind. The incidence of breast cancer in China is only about 4 per 10,000, a small probability event. The vast majority of breast lumps are benign, so there is no need to panic. Whether active surgical treatment is needed or not depends on the professional judgment of the doctor on one hand and the patient’s mentality on the other. 9, more important than drugs is the state of mind and lifestyle habits Clinical many patients with breast pain and emotional significantly related, Chinese medicine also has a theoretical treatment of emotional morbidity. Therefore, a calm and relaxed mind, adequate rest and sleep, and avoidance of excessive anxiety and tension and other adverse emotions are important for the relief of symptoms. These factors can also affect the female physiological cycle and affect mastocytosis from the perspective of endocrine hormones. Avoid greasy and high-fat diet, spicy stimulation, and high hormonal diet (artificially farmed poultry, meat, fish, vegetables, etc.); alcohol is a bad stimulus to the breast, and professional women need to pay attention to it. In addition, it is clinically observed that many patients take excessive nutritional supplements, such as Mrs. oral liquid and the like, propolis, pollen, fish oil, sea cucumber, etc., especially menopausal and elderly women, long-term use can cause breast enlargement. Of course, there is no need to lose your mouth for breast enlargement. It is not recommended to use preparations for body enhancement and breast enlargement, as well as health supplements simply to improve menopausal symptoms, etc. Hormone replacement during menopause needs to be regulated under the guidance of a gynecologist. Breast surgeons strongly oppose self-administration, indiscriminate use, long-term and excessive supplementation with exogenous estrogens.
