Hyperplasia of breast tissue can be seen in both breasts

Bilateral breast tissue hyperplasia is a common breast change, which is mainly related to hormone imbalance, lifestyle habits and psychological stress. Most cases are benign, but we need to be vigilant about whether there is a risk of continued development or pathological changes. Symptoms can be alleviated by adjusting lifestyle, dietary intervention and necessary medical treatment. Regular screening of breast health is very important.

1. Hormone Imbalance

The main cause of breast hyperplasia is the imbalance of estrogen and progesterone in the body. For example, excessive estrogen can stimulate excessive proliferation of breast ducts and alveoli, while insufficient progesterone can lead to failure to suppress this process in time. Hormone fluctuations may be related to the menstrual cycle, pregnancy or perimenopause. In this case, endocrine regulation therapy such as oral contraceptives, short-acting contraceptives, and progesterone drugs such as dydrogesterone tablets can be used to improve the condition.

2. Lifestyle issues

High stress, staying up late, and unbalanced diet can increase the risk of breast hyperplasia, especially excessive intake of high-fat, high-calorie foods can stimulate the secretion of estrogen in the body. It is recommended to get 7-8 hours of sleep a day and learn to relax, such as trying meditation or yoga. At the same time, the diet should increase the intake of dietary fiber such as oats and green leafy vegetables, and reduce greasy and high-sugar foods.

3 Environmental and chemical factors

Certain hormone mimics in the environment, such as bisphenol A in some plastic products, may increase estrogen-like activity, thereby inducing breast hyperplasia. It is recommended to reduce the use of plastic products, especially not to heat them at high temperatures, and choose glass or stainless steel food storage containers.

4 Is breast hyperplasia related to disease?

Breast hyperplasia is usually a benign change, but if breast pain, lumps, or abnormal secretions persist, you should be alert to the possibility of breast cysts or other pathological changes. Ultrasound or mammography can help to confirm the diagnosis. In some cases, doctors may recommend taking breast protection drugs such as tamoxifen to reduce the risk of future lesions.

5Diet and exercise regulation

Moderate daily exercise, such as brisk walking and swimming, for 150 minutes a week is an effective way to improve breast health and help manage weight, thereby reducing the burden on the breast. In terms of diet, you can choose more antioxidant foods, such as berries, nuts and dark vegetables, to reduce inflammatory responses in breast tissue.

Although breast hyperplasia is mostly benign, regular self-examination and screening should not be ignored. Once abnormal changes in the breasts are found, such as changes in shape, persistent pain or hard lumps, it is recommended to go to a breast specialist in time for further examination and treatment to ensure the healthy and stable development of the breasts.
