Patient's question:
I went through menopause last year, and my health has been quite good during that time. However, starting last week, I've been experiencing some breast tenderness and occasional pain. When I touched them, I also found some lumps. I'm really worried. Could you please advise on how to treat breast hyperplasia effectively?Doctor's answer:
1. Breast hyperplasia is caused by endocrine dysfunction resulting from various internal and external factors. Therefore, we can approach treatment from the perspective of regulating endocrine function. Induced abortion can easily lead to endocrine disorders, so it should be avoided as much as possible to prevent unintended pregnancies. Increasing the number of induced abortions can help prevent breast hyperplasia from occurring at a young age; women who do not conceive are also more prone to developing breast hyperplasia at an earlier age.2. Additionally, breastfeeding offers many benefits for the breasts. Frequent breastfeeding allows the breasts to develop fully, and after weaning, the breasts shrink more effectively, making them less susceptible to breast hyperplasia. Even if it does occur, it is usually milder and easier to treat. Therefore, it is important to continue breastfeeding as long as possible.
