Does breast hyperplasia affect milk production?

When it comes to breast hyperplasia, women are no strangers to it. Fibrocystic breast disease is a disease that has a particularly great impact on women's breasts. It can cause women to feel very painful and bring them a lot of pressure. Some women suffer from breast hyperplasia during pregnancy and worry that it will affect milk production, causing the baby to lack nutrition, thus affecting the baby's normal growth and development. So, will breast hyperplasia affect milk production?

Not only did it have no effect, but it actually produced more milk!

Yes, breasts without hyperplasia cannot breastfeed

Breast enlargement after pregnancy is related to breast hyperplasia

Our breasts will change, which has a lot to do with estrogen.

Physiologically, the entire growth and development process of the breast is the process in which the human body makes various preparations to produce milk. Breast hyperplasia is also a process of growth and development, and is also a preparation for milk production. The mammary glands must proliferate, and only when they proliferate can more milk be produced.

The following picture, which shows changes in the mammary glands of mice, shows how the mammary glands gradually proliferate under the influence of estrogen. Please think of the eye-catching estrus period as the human ovulation period.

Even if you are not pregnant, you still have breast hyperplasia, which is "incomplete involution"

Since hyperplasia is necessary, what is "mastopathy"?

During the menstrual cycle, the mammary glands proliferate as hormones change, preparing for pregnancy and childbirth. In the later stage of a normal menstrual cycle, if there is no pregnancy, the hyperplastic breast should return to its original state. However, due to estrogen-progesterone imbalance or other reasons, part of the hyperplastic tissue does not fully recover. This is called "incomplete recovery." If things go on like this for a long time, they will gradually accumulate and cause some disorders in the breast structure, which will cause symptoms of swelling and pain. In severe cases, lumps will form. This is "fibrocystic breast disease."

To put it in simple terms, the breast glands are supposed to expand and shrink with the menstrual cycle, but they expand without shrinking properly, and over time, they develop "fibrocystic breast disease."
