Patient's question:
My mom has been going through menopause recently, I want to ask if breast diseases during menopause have a higher incidence?Doctor's answer:
It might not be the case. Because in women during menopause, estrogen levels gradually rise. Breast diseases are generally related to excessive estrogen excretion. After menopause, estrogen levels in women's bodies decrease, and the breasts gradually become swollen. This may increase the recurrence of breast diseases. During this stage, avoid using health supplements containing estrogen indiscriminately, otherwise it may easily lead to breast cancer. Eat less greasy foods and out-of-season vegetables and fruits.
