Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing some breast tenderness and pain. I went to the hospital for a breast ultrasound, which revealed breast hyperplasia. Since I have no medical knowledge whatsoever and didn't know what breast hyperplasia was, I'd like to ask for advice on what to do about it in gynecology. Should I pay attention to anything in my daily life?Doctor's answer:
Breast hyperplasia is a very common gynecological disease, commonly found in middle-aged women. It is primarily caused by poor menstrual cycles and an excessive amount of estrogen and progesterone in the body. As the menstrual cycle subsides, symptoms gradually improve. If there is persistent pain, tenderness, or a reduction in lumps, and symptoms do not improve or show signs of relief, it is advisable to undergo surgical removal at an early stage to prevent potential malignant transformation. It is recommended to avoid oral medications or foods containing estrogen, such as soy and honey, in daily life.
