Can women who have never given birth get breast hyperplasia?

Patient's question:

I previously went to the hospital because of discomfort in my breasts and was diagnosed with mammary hyperplasia. Yesterday, my sister called and said she is also experiencing breast tenderness and pain, which is more pronounced before her period and improves after her period. She suspects she might also have it. I feel that since she hasn't been married or had children, how could she get this condition? So, I'm asking if women who haven't had children can get mammary hyperplasia?

Doctor's answer:

Women who have never given birth can also develop breast hyperplasia, as breast hyperplasia has no direct relationship with pregnancy or childbirth. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a thorough examination of your breasts. After confirming the cause, you can consider treatment. It is basically normal to experience breast tenderness before and after menstruation, so there is no need to worry too much. A light diet, avoiding staying up late, and reducing anger can help maintain breast health.
