Patient's question:
After having my second child, I've been extremely busy with business matters, and on top of that, the crying of the children always leaves me feeling overwhelmed, irritable, and on edge. Recently, I've been experiencing severe breast swelling and pain, and even the slightest touch makes it unbearable. The doctor said it's a symptom of breast hyperplasia. How can breast hyperplasia be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hormonal imbalance is the primary cause of mastitis, which is a non-inflammatory and non-neoplastic condition characterized by degenerative and progressive structural changes in the breast ducts and lobules. It commonly recurs in women aged 30-50, and its onset is closely related to hormonal adjustments. The main clinical manifestations include breast pain and lumps. In rare cases, nipple discharge may occur, accompanied by irregular menstrual cycles, reduced flow, or pale color, as well as dysmenorrhea. Patients often experience mood disturbances, irritability, or heightened emotional sensitivity, with symptoms worsening after anger, stress, or overexertion.
