What are the symptoms of lobular hyperplasia during lactation?

1. Breast lumps

The 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 be seen 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.

2. Nipple discharge

Patients with breast hyperplasia during lactation may experience nipple discharge, which is spontaneous, straw-yellow or brown serous discharge.

3. Menstrual disorders

Patients with this disease may also experience irregular menstruation, scanty or light-colored menstruation, and may be accompanied by dysmenorrhea.

4. Emotional changes

Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

It is recommended for patients with breast hyperplasia during lactation! Traditional Chinese medicine follows the basic principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment, combines the different characteristics of patients with breast hyperplasia during lactation, and adopts systematic, personalized, and specific medication for specific conditions for targeted treatment. The traditional Chinese medicine Wan Jin has the special effects of regulating endocrine, replenishing qi and blood, improving qi and blood circulation, softening and dispersing nodules. It has a long-lasting effect, treats both the symptoms and the root cause, has no side effects, and the therapeutic effect is consolidated and not prone to recurrence.

How to treat breast hyperplasia during lactation should refer to the patient's actual situation. Most people can promote recovery by relieving mental stress, improving eating habits, etc., and no special treatment is needed. For more serious cases, a detailed examination should be done and treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.

Western medicine treatment

Since there is no definite understanding of the pathogenesis and causes of breast hyperplasia during lactation, Western medicine's treatment of breast hyperplasia during lactation is basically symptomatic treatment, but it often brings certain side effects. There is also hormone therapy in Western medicine. Some people use androgens to treat this disease to inhibit the effects of estrogen, soften nodules, and relieve symptoms; 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.

Surgery

It is not recommended for breast-feeding patients with breast hyperplasia. Surgical treatment causes extensive damage, only treats the symptoms but not the root cause, is prone to recurrence, and requires a recovery period after surgery, which is difficult to accept. However, for patients with more severe breast hyperplasia, if a lump is found that grows rapidly or becomes hard in a short period of time, the possibility of cancer should be highly suspected, and a biopsy or simple breast resection should be performed if necessary. If cancer cells are found in frozen sections during surgery, the patient should be treated as having breast cancer.
