Breast lumps are a common disease in women, and their occurrence is related to genetic inheritance, diet, and endocrine hormone disorders.

As the size of the mass increases, the patient will inadvertently discover the breast lump and the accompanying tingling or dull pain. So, can you eat bean products if you have a breast mass?

If the breast lump is relatively small, it is very likely to be good and only requires regular follow-up and re-examination of breast B-ultrasound. If a breast lump is large, grows rapidly, and is accompanied by thickening and unclear boundaries around the lump, it may worsen. Therefore, further pathophysiological examinations of breast mammography and puncture biopsy of breast masses are needed to determine whether it is benign or malignant before further surgical treatment.

Can I eat soy products if I have a breast lump?

You can eat beans if you have breast lumps. However, based on the current materials and research results, there is no sufficient evidence to prove that beans can cause breast lumps, nor is there sufficient evidence to prove that beans can aggravate the development of breast lumps. Therefore, patients with breast lumps can eat bean products such as tofu and soy milk. However, some patients with breast lumps have severe anxiety. Although eating bean products itself does not have significant side effects, it can aggravate the patient's anxiety, affect breast hyperplasia, and cause further aggravation of breast lumps. In this case, it is appropriate to prohibit eating bean products.

Breast lumps are a very common clinical disease, which is mostly related to excessive estrogen metabolism in the body. There is a kind of plant hormone called soy isoflavone in soy products, which may affect the balance of estrogen and progesterone in the body. Therefore, patients with obvious breast masses should avoid or not eat soy products as much as possible to prevent plant hormones from affecting the body's estrogen and causing imbalance and aggravation of endocrine disorders. Patients with breast lumps should eat a light diet, avoid eating honey and royal jelly, as well as foods or nutritional supplements with high hormone content. At the same time, they should pay attention to rest, increase physical exercise, enhance the body's resistance, and maintain a good attitude, which will help prevent and alleviate the growth of breast lumps.
