Experts remind that after suffering from breast hyperplasia, a considerable number of patients do not pay enough attention to it, delay treatment or only seek to relieve the symptoms of breast pain, but do not realize the potential danger of breast hyperplasia-that is, a small number of breast hyperplasia will exist for a long time, which will lead to benign tumors or malignant lesions of the breast.
Causes of mammary gland hyperplasia
Breast hyperplasia is the structural degeneration of mammary ducts and lobules, and the progressive growth of connective tissue is mainly caused by endocrine hormone imbalance. So what causes endocrine hormone disorder?
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that those who are not in the position of chong ren often have menstrual disorders and spots on their faces because of poor emotional state and abnormal excretion of liver qi, while those who are not in the position of chong ren have qi stagnation and blood stasis. Modern medicine believes that marriage and childbearing, diet, the external environment of human existence and genetic factors are the main causes of breast diseases.
Symptoms of mammary gland hyperplasia
Mainly manifested as periodic breast pain. At first, it was diffuse swelling pain, and the tenderness in the middle and upper part of the breast was obvious. Every month, the pain before menstruation is aggravated, and the pain after menstruation is relieved or disappeared. Severe cases have persistent pain after menstruation. Sometimes the pain radiates to armpits, shoulders and backs, upper limbs, etc. Patients often report breast lumps, but only the thickened breast is felt during clinical examination. Simple lobular hyperplasia of breast in adolescence can heal itself in about 2 years, and most patients need treatment, so don't be patient.
Treatment of hyperplasia of mammary glands
Because mammary gland hyperplasia is mainly caused by hormone imbalance, the treatment should start with regulating endocrine. Traditional Chinese medicine has its unique features, especially for patients with disorder of chong and ren, constipation and hyperplasia of mammary glands.
How can we effectively prevent breast diseases?
In order to detect breast diseases in time, experts advocate that women over the age of 25 must have their breasts examined every month.
The specific method is: after bathing, stand in front of the mirror and check, with your hands akimbo, turn your body left and right, observe whether there is any abnormality in the breast skin on both sides and whether the nipple is invaginated from the mirror, and then stick your fingertips on the breast and move it slowly clockwise or counterclockwise. Do not squeeze by hand, so as not to mistake normal breast tissue for a lump.
1, the most common disease in women
Breast hyperplasia is the most common breast disease in women, which can occur at any age after puberty. The incidence of the disease is increasing year by year, and there is a trend of youthfulness. Breast hyperplasia is neither inflammation nor tumor in essence, but the disorder of normal breast tissue structure.
2. Breast hyperplasia has long been known.
Breast hyperplasia is characterized by breast lump and breast pain. Breast mass is an important basis for the diagnosis of breast hyperplasia. Generally, there are many lumps with different sizes and hard texture. The surface of the lump is often not smooth, and it feels granular and is not connected with the skin.
Most patients have pain symptoms, usually pain or tenderness in one or both breasts. Pain appears or intensifies in the premenstrual period, and decreases or disappears after menstruation, showing periodicity.
Breast hyperplasia has a long course of disease and slow development, and sometimes there may be nipple discharge. Patients with this disease may also have irregular menstrual time, small amount or light color, and may be accompanied by dysmenorrhea. Some people have no symptoms at all.
3. Who is the person in danger?
Hyperplasia of mammary glands is mainly due to the imbalance of female endocrine, estrogen and progesterone, which stimulates excessive hyperplasia of mammary glands and incomplete recovery.
Women who meet the following conditions are prone to breast hyperplasia:
13 years old has menarche or has not stopped menstruating until 50 years old;
Not breastfeeding, never giving birth, primipara over 35 years old or single unmarried;
Repeated induced abortion;
Long-term high-fat and low-fiber diet, frequent drinking;
Long-term depression or severe mental stimulation;
4. Beware of evil changes
Although there is no necessary connection between breast hyperplasia and breast cancer, the risk of breast hyperplasia turning into cancer often depends on healthy people.
For breast hyperplasia, female friends can't ignore it, thinking that it is not a problem if it doesn't hurt or itch, and there should be no ideological burden. They think that getting breast hyperplasia means getting cancer.
It is very important for healthy adult women to check their breasts every month. Find a quiet environment to lie flat or sit down, put your fingers together, and gently press the breast clockwise with your fingertips, but don't take a grasping posture to avoid treating normal breast tissue as hyperplasia. Feel whether there is a foreign body sensation in any part. If you feel scattered granular objects, you should see a doctor and let the doctor help you make a final judgment.
5, love tips
Patients with hyperplasia of mammary glands should ensure a regular life, adjust their love, relax, and often take part in physical exercise, but don't make themselves too tired.
Keep your breasts clean, wash them often with warm water, and pay attention to the changes of breast lumps.
You can often eat kelp, oranges, orange cakes, oysters and other foods that have the function of promoting qi circulation and dispersing stagnation, and avoid eating cold and spicy foods.
Patients over 40 years old with mammary gland hyperplasia should go to the hospital for a specialist examination once a year, and if necessary, do B-ultrasound, infrared mammography or molybdenum target photography.
When you say breast nodules, you may mean small nodules.
At present, physical examination plays a great role in screening ultra-early tumors and prompting regular follow-up of benign tumors. Pan Xiaofang, director of the physical examination department of Dalian Central Hospital, found through the follow-up of dozens of women with small space occupation in the early stage of breast ultrasound examination that the shape and size of the original space occupation had changed in 5 patients during monitoring, and some small nodules or tumors had undergone substantial malignant transformation.
Small breast nodules, breast ultrasound examination, if it is a cyst or adenoma, don't be too nervous, because it is easy to distinguish from tumors in morphology, and you can follow up regularly. If the ultrasound indicates a small lump or nodule, we should operate as soon as possible. In subsequent cases, there is such a situation. Some women suddenly have increased work pressure or emotional problems. Under the influence of bad mood, small nodules can appear diffuse changes after a few months, and the occupation boundary is blurred. From the ultrasonic point of view, they are more and more like malignant tumors. At this time, surgery and pathology are mostly not good results.
In the past, doctors generally thought that the small nodules of the breast might be too small to be easily found during surgery. Small nodules can be observed for a period of time. If they grow up, they can be operated again. Director Pan Xiaofang said that according to the current follow-up results, small lumps or nodules should be removed as soon as possible. Clinicians can locate tumors under the guidance of ultrasound, then perform surgery and make pathological sections in time. In this way, the possibility of malignant transformation of nodules can be avoided.
