Can I eat soybeans if I have breast hyperplasia?

You can eat soybeans in moderation if you have breast hyperplasia, but excessive intake may affect the hormone balance in the body, so you need to adjust your diet according to your own situation.

Breast hyperplasia is related to fluctuations in estrogen levels in the body, and soybeans are rich in soy isoflavones, a type of phytoestrogen that can mimic the effects of weak estrogen in the body. Moderate intake may regulate endocrine function, but excessive intake may aggravate the imbalance of estrogen levels, especially for some people who are sensitive to hormones.

Soybeans and soy products can be part of your diet, but it is not recommended to consume a large amount of them alone, such as drinking a lot of soy milk or eating a lot of tofu every day. Your diet should be as diverse as possible, and you should also control other high-risk foods containing hormone-like substances, such as high-fat meat and certain high-sugar foods.

In addition to beans, moderately increasing the intake of dietary fiber, such as fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains, can promote hormone metabolism in your daily diet; eat less fried and processed foods to avoid additional hormone interference. If the symptoms of breast hyperplasia are obvious or persistent, please seek medical attention in time and receive professional evaluation and guidance from the doctor.
