Patient's question:
I am five months pregnant. During my last health check-up, I found out that I have mild hyperplasia of the breast glands, which made me very worried. Hello, will mild hyperplasia of the breast glands interfere with the baby?Doctor's answer:
Actually, breast fibroadenosis is a benign condition that is neither a tumor nor an inflammatory disease. Generally speaking, it will never affect the baby. During pregnancy, women may experience endocrine disorders due to irregular daily routines or high work pressure, leading to an imbalance in estrogen and progesterone secretion, which in turn can trigger breast fibroadenosis and cause breast pain. Therefore, expectant mothers should actively cooperate with the treatment of breast fibroadenosis. They need to visit the breast surgery department of the hospital for a follow-up, undergo a breast ultrasound and fasting blood draw, and have their sex hormone levels tested to confirm the diagnosis. At the same time, they should take Chinese herbal medicines that promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and reduce swelling, such as Ru Pi Xiao. Additionally, maintaining a positive mood and engaging in appropriate physical activity is also important.
