The main characteristic of breast hyperplasia is regular breast pain, which is initially a migratory swelling and pain, and the tenderness is more obvious on the outer upper side and upper middle end of the breast.

Modern science believes that reproduction, diet, the external environment in which people live, and genetic factors are the main causes of breast diseases.
