Is lobular hyperplasia a serious problem?

Lobular hyperplasia is the most common breast disease, and breast disease has a relatively large impact on women's health. Therefore, once these symptoms occur, we must pay attention to scientific treatment to reduce harm.

Breast hyperplasia refers to the proliferation of breast epithelial and fibrous tissue, structural degeneration of breast ducts and lobules, and progressive growth of connective tissue. The main cause of the disease is endocrine hormone imbalance. Fibrocystic breast disease is the most common breast disease in women and should be prevented in advance.

The first is regular check-ups. Once diagnosed with cystic hyperplasia, patients should go to a specialist hospital for check-ups regularly (such as 2 to 3 times a year) to detect any abnormal lumps (cancerous masses) at an early stage. This abnormal mass is sometimes difficult for doctors to diagnose simply by touching it with their hands. Therefore, it is necessary to use some special instruments for examination, and even a pathological biopsy is required for a confirmed diagnosis.

The second is to take medicine regularly. Cystic hyperplasia is a chronic disease with severe endocrine disorders. The diseased tissue is poorly sensitive to drugs, the cystic masses disappear slowly, and the treatment time is long. Sometimes it takes oral medication for half a year to a year to take effect. Therefore, patients must maintain a balanced mentality and have the confidence to "fight a protracted war". It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine that has the effects of soothing the liver and regulating qi, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and softening and dispersing nodules.

The third is complete surgical resection. This is the best treatment method for those with only local changes. That is, as long as the large local lesions are removed, a positive therapeutic effect can usually be achieved. If there is an obvious tendency towards cancer, or if a biopsy confirms a precancerous lesion, a simple mastectomy should be performed for safety.

In addition, when patients experience galactorrhea, care should be taken to distinguish it from hyperprolactinemia or amenorrhea galactorrhea syndrome to avoid misdiagnosis.
