What are the symptoms of breast hyperplasia?

Breast hyperplasia is a common disease among women. Young women are very likely to suffer from this disease, especially after giving birth. If they do not take good care of their breasts, they are very likely to develop breast hyperplasia. Women with breast hyperplasia should receive timely treatment, otherwise breast hyperplasia can easily lead to other diseases. So what are the symptoms of breast hyperplasia? This is something many women do not understand.

Breast hyperplasia symptoms:

1. Stage by severity

(1) Lobular breast hyperplasia (stage I breast hyperplasia) is the early stage of breast hyperplasia, which often occurs in women between the ages of 25 and 35. The symptoms are relatively mild and belong to stage I breast hyperplasia.

(2) Mammary gland disease (duct ectasia, stage II breast hyperplasia) is the further development of early breast hyperplasia, from lobular hyperplasia to duct ectasia, called mammary gland disease. It often occurs in 30 to 45 years old, with severe symptoms, and belongs to stage II breast hyperplasia. It is easy to attract attention, but is often difficult to cure. If it is not cured for a long time, it will cause mental depression and aggravate the symptoms. It can cause serious endocrine disorders, such as irregular menstruation, insomnia, dreaminess, dull skin color and other reactions.

(3) Cystic hyperplasia (ductal ectasia combined with epithelial cell hyperplasia, stage III breast hyperplasia) is a further development of stage II breast hyperplasia, which often occurs in women aged 40 to 55 years. The symptoms are very severe. The malignant transformation rate of stage III hyperplasia is over 70%, requiring active treatment and regular check-ups. Stage III breast hyperplasia often causes mental depression and fear in patients.

(4) Breast cystic disease (stage IV breast hyperplasia): A large number of breast duct cells and epithelial cells accumulate and die, forming a cystic mass, with a cancer rate of over 90%.

(5) Breast cancer (stage V breast hyperplasia) is often the result of the further development of cystic hyperplasia and cysts. Surgery is the first choice for early treatment of breast cancer, and whether to preserve the breast should be determined based on the specific circumstances. The probability of stage I and stage II breast hyperplasia developing into breast cancer is 1% to 3%. If you suffer from breast hyperplasia, you must receive timely treatment and not allow it to develop.

2. Main symptoms

(1) Breast pain is often characterized by distension or stabbing pain, which may affect one or both breasts, with one breast being more severe. Patients with severe pain cannot touch the breast, and may even experience difficulty in daily life and work. The pain is mainly in the breast lump, and may also radiate to the affected armpit, chest, flank, shoulder and back; some people experience nipple pain or itching. Breast pain often occurs or worsens a few days before menstruation, and the pain is significantly reduced or disappears after menstruation; the pain may also fluctuate with mood changes. This pain related to the menstrual cycle and emotional changes is the main feature of the clinical manifestations of hyperplasia of the breast.

(2) Breast lumps: Breast lumps can occur in one or both breasts, single or multiple, and are more common in the upper outer quadrant of the breast, but can also occur in other quadrants. The shapes of the lumps include flake-shaped, nodular-shaped, cord-shaped, granular-shaped, etc., among which the flake-shaped is the most common. The lump has unclear boundaries, is of medium or slightly hard texture, has good mobility, has no adhesion to surrounding tissues, and is often tender. The lumps vary in size, with small ones being as big as millet grains and large ones exceeding 3 to 4 cm. Breast lumps also change with the menstrual cycle. The lumps become larger and harder before menstruation, and shrink and soften after menstruation.

(3) Nipple discharge A small number of patients may experience nipple discharge, which is spontaneous and has a straw-yellow or brown serous appearance.

(4) Menstrual disorders: Patients with this disease may experience irregular menstruation, scanty or light-colored menstruation, and may be accompanied by dysmenorrhea.

(5) Emotional changes: Patients often feel depressed or irritable, which worsens when they are angry, stressed or tired.

After understanding the symptoms of breast hyperplasia, when improving breast hyperplasia, it is necessary to proceed according to the symptoms of women. For women with mild breast hyperplasia, some simple conditioning methods can be chosen. Diet therapy is a good choice. Food has a good effect on improving female breast hyperplasia and will not have any effect on women's bodies.
