Why does breast hyperplasia occur?

Breast disease has the highest incidence rate among all female diseases. Almost all women may be plagued by this disease. Not only can breast disease cause breast pain, but it may also eventually induce breast cancer. If you want to get rid of breast diseases such as breast hyperplasia, the first thing you need to do is to find out the cause. Why do women suffer from breast hyperplasia? Let's find out together!

Cysplasia of the breast is neither a tumor nor an inflammation. From a histological point of view, it is the hyperplasia and degeneration of breast tissue, which is closely related to endocrine dysfunction. This disease is more common in middle-aged women, but it also occurs in adolescents and postmenopausal women. Today, 50%-70% of working women in big cities have varying degrees of breast hyperplasia. Fibrocystic breast disease is often manifested by breast pain and breast nodules. The harm lies not in the disease itself, but in the psychological pressure, and the worry that one may have breast cancer or will develop cancer in the future. There are many pathological types of breast hyperplasia, such as simple lobular hyperplasia (accounting for the majority of breast hyperplasia). As long as you pay attention to adjusting your mentality and relieving stress, it may gradually improve. If lobular hyperplasia of the breast is accompanied by ductal epithelial hyperplasia and presents severe atypia, it is a precancerous lesion (accounting for a very small proportion) and requires active treatment and regular examinations to prevent the disease before it occurs.

Under the influence of endocrine hormones, especially estrogen and progesterone, the breast will undergo changes in proliferation and involution as the menstrual cycle changes. Due to certain reasons, endocrine hormone metabolism is unbalanced and estrogen levels increase, which can lead to excessive breast tissue proliferation and incomplete restoration. After a period of time, the hyperplastic breast tissue cannot completely disappear, resulting in breast hyperplasia.

prevention

1. Establish a good lifestyle, adjust your life rhythm, and keep a good mood. Adhere to physical exercise, actively participate in social activities, and avoid and reduce mental and psychological stress factors.

2. Learn and master the method of breast self-examination, and develop the habit of breast self-examination once a month. The best time to do a breast self-examination is after menstruation or between two menstrual periods. At this time, the breasts are softer, without swelling or pain, and it is easier to detect abnormalities. Postmenopausal women can choose to do a breast self-examination at a fixed time each month. If you find any abnormalities or signs that are different from the past during self-examination, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

3. Actively participate in breast cancer screening or breast examination once a year.
