Is breast hyperplasia a precancerous lesion?

Generally, breast hyperplasia will not become malignant and is not a precancerous lesion.

Breast hyperplasia is common in young women. It is a benign disease process, which is mainly manifested by periodic breast pain and periodic masses, which can change with the menstrual cycle, mood, work pressure and other factors. If there are no other discomfort symptoms, medical treatment is not necessary. At the same time, the occurrence of breast cancer does not necessarily require the process of breast hyperplasia, and the periodic pain associated with breast hyperplasia is not caused by tumors. Therefore, this type of breast hyperplasia has nothing to do with breast cancer. However, if atypical breast hyperplasia occurs, the risk of breast cancer may be relatively increased. At this time, you must go to a regular hospital for examination in time.
