Is breast hyperplasia hereditary?

Many women suffer from breast hyperplasia, some are mild and some are severe. This disease often has a long formation process and develops relatively slowly. Women will feel swelling and pain in the breasts. At this time, they should seek medical treatment in time. But is breast hyperplasia hereditary? This disease is not hereditary but is caused by acquired factors, such as an unhealthy lifestyle, lack of exercise, and the use of cosmetics containing hormones.

Breast hyperplasia is mainly caused by emotional changes, life burdens and dietary structure, and is not hereditary.

Causes of breast hyperplasia:

1. Abuse of skin care products: With the continuous improvement of living conditions, middle-aged and elderly women use facial creams containing estrogen for a long time for skin beauty. These hormone-containing creams are absorbed through the skin and can also increase the estrogen level in the body; taking hormone drugs can directly cause an imbalance in hormone levels in the body. These can all lead to an increase in the incidence of this disease.

2. Bad lifestyle: With the continuous improvement of the current quality of life, people are no longer satisfied with relying on starchy staple foods to maintain food and clothing, but have become very interested in diets high in fat and protein. These diets are the raw materials for synthesizing hormones in the body, so changes in dietary composition can also lead to an increase in the incidence of cystic breast hyperplasia.

3. In recent years, many scholars believe that increased prolactin is also an important factor in causing breast hyperplasia. Studies have shown that hormone receptors also play an important role in the development of breast hyperplasia.

How to prevent breast hyperplasia from developing into breast cancer?

First of all, patients with breast hyperplasia should pay attention to regular check-ups, pay attention to details in daily life, and keep abreast of their physical condition to avoid increasing the risk of breast cancer.

Secondly, you need to change your eating habits, eat less hormone-fed meat and beef, eat less high-fat foods and supplements, eat a low-fat diet, and eat more vegetables and fruits.

Finally, get adequate exercise every day. Studies have shown that maintaining aerobic exercise such as brisk walking for 2 hours a week can reduce the risk of breast cancer.

Breast hyperplasia is not an early stage of breast cancer, but it is possible for breast hyperplasia to coexist with breast cancer. Only by doing a good job in preventing breast hyperplasia from becoming cancerous can we better maintain our health.
