What are the symptoms and treatment methods of mammary gland hyperplasia?

Mammary hyperplasia is generally caused by the imbalance of endocrine hormone metabolism and the increase of estrogen level for some reasons.

The main symptom is breast pain, which can involve both sides at the same time, but most of them are biased towards one side. The breast pain is obvious before menstruation, and it will be relieved and gradually stopped after menstruation. The pain reappears before the next menstruation, and the whole breast has a diffuse nodular feeling accompanied by tenderness.

There is no correlation between the severity of breast pain and the existence and range of nodules, and the pain can spread to the armpit, shoulder and back. A few patients may be accompanied by nipple discharge. Because the cause comes from endocrine dysfunction, besides breast symptoms, symptoms such as irregular menstruation, bad temper, impatience and anger, and love sweating may also occur.

Patients with mammary gland hyperplasia generally choose the following four treatment methods:

1. Psychotherapy

The occurrence of mammary gland hyperplasia is often related to fatigue, irregular life, mental stress and excessive pressure. The first thing to treat hyperplasia of mammary glands is to relieve the pressure of life and work, eliminate troubles, feel comfortable and calm, and the symptoms can be alleviated.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that mammary gland hyperplasia begins with liver depression, and then blood stasis and phlegm coagulate into lumps, so it is appropriate to treat it by soothing the liver and regulating qi, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, softening and resolving hard mass. On the premise of excluding breast malignant tumors, we can also try external Chinese medicine treatments, such as traditional Chinese medicine bra, acupuncture and massage.

3. Western medicine treatment

Hormones, iodine preparations and tamoxifen can be used to relieve pain, but they are not the first choice because of certain side effects. Vitamins A, B6 and E also have the function of regulating sex hormones, and can be used as auxiliary drugs for hyperplasia of mammary glands.

4. Surgical treatment

Hyperplasia of mammary glands is caused by endocrine and metabolic imbalance, and there is no surgical indication. In clinical practice, individual breast nodules that are difficult to distinguish from breast cancer can also be surgically removed and diagnosed by pathological examination.
