What disease is mammary gland hyperplasia?

Women's breasts grow up slowly from adolescence, and girls are often ashamed to tell such private physical changes, so they will ignore some physical discomfort. If the problems are not found and treated in time, there will be some irreparable consequences, among which mammary gland hyperplasia is often ignored by women. So what is the disease of mammary gland hyperplasia? What's the harm? How to prevent mammary gland hyperplasia? Let's have a look.

First, the symptoms and manifestations of mammary gland hyperplasia:

Mammary hyperplasia refers to hyperplasia of mammary epithelium and fibrous tissue, structural degeneration of mammary ducts and lobules, and progressive growth of connective tissue, which is mainly caused by endocrine hormone imbalance. Hyperplasia of mammary glands is the most common breast disease in women, and its incidence ranks first among breast diseases. In recent years, the incidence of the disease has increased year by year, and the age is getting younger and younger. According to the survey, about 70% ~ 80% of women have breast hyperplasia in different degrees, which is more common in women aged 25 ~ 45. Different age groups have different characteristics. The main symptom of unmarried women, married childless women and lactating women is breast pain, which can involve both sides at the same time, but mostly to one side. Breast pain is obvious before menstruation, and it will be relieved and gradually stopped after menstruation. The next premenstrual pain reappears, and the whole breast has a diffuse nodular feeling accompanied by tenderness. After the age of 35, the main symptom of women is breast lump, with mild pain and tenderness in the breast, which has nothing to do with menstrual cycle. Touching the breast by hand can touch the nodules with different sizes, oblate or irregular shape, flexible texture, unclear boundary, no adhesion with skin and deep tissue, and can be pushed. After the age of 45, it often presents as single or multiple scattered cystic masses with clear boundaries, often accompanied by dull pain, swelling pain or burning pain. Mammary gland atrophy and cystic diseases become prominent in postmenopausal women. There is no correlation between the severity of breast pain and the existence and range of nodules, and the pain can dissipate to armpits, shoulders and back. A few patients may be accompanied by nipple discharge. Because the cause comes from endocrine disorders, in addition to breast symptoms, there may be symptoms such as irregular menstruation, short temper, impatience and irritability, and love sweating.

Second, the examination of mammary gland hyperplasia:

1. Breast palpation

Women's breasts are uneven, and many women think that the lump is just a raised area of normal breasts. Before each menstrual period, these lumps will become more obvious and easier to touch. As far as the characteristics of breast masses are concerned, breast hyperplasia often finds multiple nodules with different sizes and unclear boundaries on both sides of the breast at the same time or successively, which can be promoted. Breast fibroadenoma masses are mostly round or oval, with clear boundaries, smooth surface, no adhesion with skin and surrounding tissues, strong fluidity and a sense of slippage when touched. Breast cancer masses are mostly single nodules with irregular edges, most of which are hard and often adhere to the skin.

2. Color Doppler ultrasound

Convenient, non-invasive and can be repeated many times. Breast hyperplasia, breast fibroadenoma and breast cancer can be distinguished according to the morphology, cystic solidity and relationship with surrounding tissues of breast nodules.

3. mammography

It has a high diagnostic value, can clearly show all layers of breast tissues and calcified lesions, and has certain advantages in distinguishing benign and malignant lesions from early detection of breast cancer, but it is not good for young women and those with dense breast (gland density is 70%).

4. Breast magnetic resonance imaging

It can quickly obtain a high-precision image of the internal structure of the breast, without ionizing radiation and without adverse effects on the human body. It is more suitable for patients with multiple small breast lesions, deep lesions near the chest wall and breast augmentation. Therefore, when the lesions are highly suspected by color Doppler ultrasound and mammography, further MRI examination can be performed.

5. Breast biopsy

In order to exclude malignant lesions, breast nodules can be examined by focus puncture when necessary. This examination is a traumatic examination and the "gold standard" for the diagnosis and elimination of breast cancer.

Third, the prevention of mammary gland hyperplasia:

1, sleep rule

Regular sleep is not only beneficial to balance endocrine, but also provides a good environment for various hormones in the body to play a healthy role in a balanced way. The power of unity is great, and the cooperation of various hormones can naturally defeat mammary gland hyperplasia.

2. Harmonious sex life

Harmonious sexual life can first regulate endocrine, stimulate progesterone secretion, and increase the protection and repair of breasts. In addition, orgasm stimulation can also accelerate blood circulation and avoid breast hyperplasia caused by poor blood circulation. When the "sexual" environment expands and the opportunity of sexual stimulation increases, it can promote the secretion of "estrogen", which leads to the increase of estrogen and the relative decrease of progesterone, thus causing breast hyperplasia. Therefore, maintaining a harmonious and regular life between husband and wife can eliminate factors that are not conducive to breast health.

Step 3 keep in a good mood

Yes, the biggest fear of mammary gland hyperplasia is that you are in a good mood! Because you are in a good mood, the normal ovulation of the ovary will not be hindered by a bad mood, the secretion of progesterone will not be reduced, and the breast will not proliferate due to the unilateral stimulation of estrogen. The proliferated breast will gradually recover under the care of progesterone. Being in a bad mood and unstable mood will inhibit the ovulation function of the ovary, reduce progesterone and increase estrogen, leading to mammary gland hyperplasia.

4. Regulate menstruation

Clinically, it is found that women with menstrual cycle disorder are more prone to breast hyperplasia than others. Regulating endocrine to regulate menstruation is one of the methods to prevent mammary gland hyperplasia, and can also strengthen the therapeutic effect of female mammary gland hyperplasia.

5, pregnancy, breastfeeding

Pregnancy and lactation are good ways to fight against mammary gland hyperplasia, and adequate progesterone secretion can effectively protect and repair mammary glands; However, breast-feeding can make the breast fully developed, degenerate well after weaning, and is not easy to proliferate. Getting married and breastfeeding at the right time is good for the breast.

6. Don't use creams and drugs containing estrogen.

In order to beautify the skin, some women use creams containing estrogen for a long time, which makes the level of estrogen in the body relatively high, and long-term use can induce mammary gland hyperplasia.

7. Vitamin and mineral supplements

If the human body lacks B vitamins, vitamin C or minerals such as calcium and magnesium, the synthesis of prostaglandin E will be affected, and the mammary gland will appear or aggravate hyperplasia under the excessive stimulation of other hormones.

8. A low-fat and high-fiber diet

Follow the principle of "low-fat and high-fiber" diet, eat more whole grains, beans and vegetables, increase the metabolic pathway of the human body and reduce the adverse stimulation to the breast. Also, control the intake of animal protein to avoid excessive estrogen and lead to breast hyperplasia.
