What are the symptoms of physiological breast hyperplasia?

The symptoms of physiological breast hyperplasia are mainly breast pain, lumps and nipple discharge, which are usually related to hormone level fluctuations and can be relieved by adjusting lifestyle and drug treatment. Breast pain often occurs before menstruation and is cyclical. The lumps are mostly bilateral, multiple, soft in texture, and have unclear boundaries. Nipple discharge is mostly clear or milky white.

1. Breast pain is a common symptom of physiological breast hyperplasia, which is related to changes in estrogen and progesterone levels. The increase in hormone levels before menstruation causes congestion and edema of breast tissue, causing pain. It is recommended to avoid excessive caffeine and high-fat foods, wear appropriate underwear, and reduce breast pressure.

2. Breast lumps are mostly benign hyperplasia, which manifests as multiple, soft nodules on both sides of the breast, with unclear boundaries and tenderness when palpated. The size and texture of the lump change with the menstrual cycle and may shrink or disappear after menstruation. If the lump persists or increases in size, you need to see a doctor in time to rule out other diseases.

3. Nipple discharge is mostly clear or milky white, a few are yellow or green, and usually not accompanied by pain. Discharge is related to mammary duct dilation or increased secretions. Avoid excessive nipple stimulation and keep breasts clean. If the discharge is bloody or accompanied by other abnormal symptoms, further examination is required.

The symptoms of physiological breast hyperplasia are closely related to the fluctuation of hormone levels. Adjusting diet, wearing appropriate underwear and taking appropriate medication can effectively relieve the symptoms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, you should seek medical attention in time for breast ultrasound or mammography to rule out other breast diseases.
