Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 31 years old, breast hyperplasiaDoctor's answer:
Breast hyperplasia is generally considered to be related to endocrine disorders and factors such as mental and environmental influences.1. Endocrine disorders. A decrease in progesterone secretion and a relative increase in estrogen are important causes of breast hyperplasia. This includes conditions such as underdeveloped ovaries, menstrual irregularities, thyroid diseases, and liver dysfunction.
2. Influence of emotional and psychological factors. Stress, emotional excitement, and other adverse psychological factors can easily lead to breast hyperplasia. Frequent (long hours without sleep) and insufficient sleep can also cause breast hyperplasia, and these negative factors can worsen existing symptoms.
3. Human factors or poor lifestyle habits: Female infertility at an advanced age, sexual dysfunction, induced abortions, marital conflicts, and lack of breastfeeding, among other reasons, prevent the breasts from undergoing normal, cyclical physiological activities. Wearing tight bras or tight clothing, for example.
4. Unreasonable dietary structure, such as high-fat, high-energy diets leading to excessive fat intake. Alcohol consumption and smoking can also trigger breast diseases. Additionally, with improved diets, many people now suffer from hypertension and hyperglycemia, which can easily lead to endocrine disorders in women and cause breast hyperplasia.
5. Long-term use of estrogen-containing health supplements or birth control pills. Long-term excessive intake of estrogen disrupts endocrine balance. Some fast-growing foods, as well as feed for artificially raised aquatic animals and poultry, often contain hormone components. Long-term consumption of these can also lead to breast diseases.
