Patient's question:
I have had breast hyperplasia for 3 years. When the doctor gave me a thorough examination at that time, I took medicine for a while. Later, the symptoms disappeared, so I stopped taking the medicine. Who knew that within a few months, the breast hyperplasia recurred. Over these three years, it has been recurring on and off. Will it develop into breast cancer if I continue like this?Doctor's answer:
Breast hyperplasia is not an inflammatory condition, nor is it a tumor. Breast hyperplasia is caused by endocrine disorders, primarily fibrosis and degenerative changes in breast tissue. Most breast hyperplasia is simple lobular hyperplasia, which is generally extremely unlikely to develop into cancer. If breast hyperplasia is accompanied by ductal epithelial abnormal fibrosis, it has precancerous lesions, but this is very rare. It is possible to actively treat breast hyperplasia inflammation in daily life.
