Patient's question:
Doctor, I have been feeling breast pain recently. Whenever my breast hurts, gently massaging it with my hand makes the pain intensify. So I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said I have hyperplasia of the breast gland. I am very worried that hyperplasia will affect my future breastfeeding. Does hyperplasia affect breastfeeding?Doctor's answer:
Breast hyperplasia is neither inflammation nor a tumor. It is a functional disorder caused by excessive estrogen in the body. Treatment can involve oral medication such as Ruiping Xiao or Xiaoyao Pill. Additionally, massage of the breasts can help alleviate symptoms. Your condition is likely due to high estrogen levels after pregnancy, which has little impact on breastfeeding. It's important to relax and maintain a positive mood. Avoiding anger can reduce the likelihood of recurrence, and daily massage should be consistently practiced.
