Among them, cystic hyperplasia of the breast and lobular hyperplasia are the most common and are common diseases of the breast in young women. The specific clinical manifestations are the appearance of diffuse hard lumps of varying sizes and shapes in one or both breasts, accompanied by local swelling, stringy pain or dull pain.
