What are the early symptoms of breast hyperplasia

Patient's question:

Patient: Female, 27 years old, with breast hyperplasia

Doctor's answer:

1. Irregular menstruation: Patients may also experience irregular menstrual cycles, reduced volume or pale color, accompanied by dysmenorrhea;
2. Nipple discharge: A small number of patients may have nipple discharge, which is spontaneous and appears as yellowish or brown serous fluid;
3. Emotional instability: What are the symptoms of breast hyperplasia? Patients often feel mood swings or irritability, which worsen after getting angry, experiencing mental stress, or being overworked;
4. Breast pain: The pain is often aching or stabbing, affecting one or both breasts, with one side being more severe. Severe pain may make the breasts unbearable to touch, even impacting daily life and work. The pain primarily occurs at the breast lump but can also radiate to the axilla, chest, ribs, or shoulder blades on the affected side. Some patients may experience nipple pain or itching;
5. Breast lumps: Lumps can appear in one or both breasts, either singly or multiple, most commonly in the outer upper quadrant of the breast, but can also occur in other quadrants. The shapes of the lumps include (piece-like), (nodular), (cord-like), or (grainy), with the piece-like being the most common. The borders of the lumps are not well-defined, with a medium or slightly firm texture, good mobility, and no adhesion to surrounding tissues. They are often tender to touch.
