Is breast hyperplasia hereditary?

Breast hyperplasia is extremely harmful and will cause many effects on our bodies. When breast hyperplasia occurs, the first thing everyone should do is to see if it may be hereditary, because people are very worried that it will be passed on to their offspring. In fact, most of the factors that cause breast hyperplasia are related to mental state, lifestyle and eating habits, not genetics.

Pathological etiology

Psychological factors (35%)

Mental stimulation can change the internal environment of the human body, thereby affecting the function of the endocrine system and leading to abnormal secretion of one or several hormones. Negative mental factors such as excessive mental tension and excessive emotional excitement may cause the breast hyperplasia tissue that should have recovered to fail to recover or to recover incompletely. Over time, breast hyperplasia will form, and these negative mental stimuli will aggravate the existing symptoms of breast hyperplasia.

Bad lifestyle habits (25%)

There are also many human factors and lifestyle factors, such as abortion, infertility or giving birth after the age of 30, not breastfeeding, marital discord, health products containing hormones, etc. Wearing a bra that is too tight can easily compress the lymph and blood circulation, which are all detrimental to breast health.

Unhealthy diet (20%)

In addition, an unreasonable diet structure, such as excessive fat intake, can affect the endocrine system of the ovaries, enhance the stimulation of estrogen on breast epithelial cells, and thus lead to breast hyperplasia.

Treatment

Drug treatment:

Most cystic hyperplasia can be treated non-surgically. Use a bra to lift the breasts. Traditional Chinese medicine to soothe the liver, regulate qi and harmonize the body can relieve pain. When the pain is obvious in the premenopausal period, you can take methyltestosterone 3 times a day before menstruation, 5 mg each time. You can also take progesterone orally 5 to 10 mg per day for 7 to 10 days before menstruation. In recent years, the use of vitamin E treatment has also had a pain-relieving effect. For those whose lesions are limited to a part of the breast and who still have obvious lumps after menstruation, surgical treatment can also be used.

Treatment under the guidance of a doctor: Western medicine includes 5% potassium iodide. Those with severe pain can try methyltestosterone, which should be taken orally one week before menstruation to avoid further disrupting the delicate balance of hormones in the human body.
