Patient's question:
What dietary restrictions are there for breast hyperplasia? Can't drink milk? There are small bumps on the areola, which didn't exist before but have recently appeared. It hurts when the nipple is touched. What's going on? Is it due to breast hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Milk can be consumed. The small bumps on the areola are Montgomery glands, which develop during breast growth and secrete oils, providing protection for the nipple. There is no need to worry about them. If there is tenderness in the nipple, it may be caused by breast hyperplasia, which is common and usually does not interfere with normal life, so it does not require treatment. It is recommended to pay attention to the breast health by avoiding spicy and irritating foods, and not taking health supplements. It is important to maintain a calm mood, as a significant portion of breast pain is caused by emotions such as anger. Breast examinations before the age of 40 should primarily rely on breast ultrasound, which is radiation-free and can clearly reflect breast conditions.
