Bilateral lobular breast hyperplasia

The cause of bilateral lobular breast hyperplasia is not so clear at present. Most patients can only take symptomatic treatment measures according to their existing symptoms. However, some mild patients can improve on their own without any treatment, but it takes a long time, about one or two years, to gradually begin to recover. During this period, you should pay attention to a reasonable lifestyle.

Since there is no clear understanding of the mechanism and cause of breast hyperplasia, the current treatment is basically symptomatic. Some patients may experience spontaneous remission several months to 1 to 2 years after onset and usually do not require treatment. There are many types of breast hyperplasia. Physiological breast hyperplasia, such as simple breast hyperplasia, does not require special treatment and will resolve on its own. Breast hyperplasia caused by mental, emotional and human factors can also subside or ease through self-adjustment (such as timely diagnosis and treatment of other organ diseases related to breast diseases, regulating emotions, relieving mental stress, changing unhealthy eating habits, quitting smoking and drinking, etc.).

There is currently no effective treatment for pathological breast hyperplasia, such as lobular hyperplasia, fibroadenosis, fibrosis, and cystic breast hyperplasia. Most patients can often relieve themselves several months to 1 to 2 years after the onset of the disease. Therefore, if the diagnosis is confirmed, no treatment is usually required. Use a bra to lift the breasts; Chinese patent medicines commonly used in clinical practice have the effects of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, soothing the liver and regulating qi, softening and dispersing nodules, regulating qi and blood, and relieving pain.

In addition, there is hormone therapy. Some people use androgens to treat this disease, but this treatment may aggravate the imbalance of hormones in the human body and is not suitable for routine use. It should only be considered when the symptoms are severe and affect normal work and life. Treatment under the guidance of a doctor: Western medicine includes 5% potassium iodide. If the pain is severe, you can try methyltestosterone or tamoxifen, which should be taken orally within one week before menstruation to avoid further disrupting the delicate balance of hormones in the human body. You can also choose Chinese patent medicine or prescriptions for treatment under the guidance of TCM syndrome differentiation.

However, it should be noted that a small number of patients with cystic breast hyperplasia may develop cancer (about 2`5%), and regular check-ups every 3 to 6 months are required, and biopsies are performed when necessary. Especially for unilateral lesions with limited range, one should be more vigilant.
