Can women with breast hyperplasia breastfeed?

Patient's question:

I would like to inquire if it is possible to breastfeed with mammary hyperplasia. My friend just had her baby a month ago. She has always wanted to breastfeed because she believes it is better for the baby's health and can provide her with sufficient nutrition. However, my friend has mammary hyperplasia.

Doctor's answer:

It is possible to practice contraception with breast hyperplasia. Breastfeeding can open up breast ducts, and when the breast ducts are unobstructed, the condition of breast hyperplasia may improve. Contraception offers significant benefits for patients with breast hyperplasia, as it can promote the stability of the condition. It is important to note that after childbirth, attention should be paid to nutritional balance, and excessive greasy food should be avoided to prevent the recurrence of overly thick milk blocking the breast ducts, which may lead to symptoms of mastitis.
