Patient's question:
I experience breast tenderness and lumps 7-8 days before my period, which disappear after the period. What symptoms does this belong to? How should it be treated? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Hyperplasia of the breast is primarily caused by endocrine disorders. The human endocrine system is a vast network, and if any part of it malfunctions, it can lead to disruption of the entire endocrine system. Currently, it may only manifest as breast hyperplasia, but if it is not properly and comprehensively regulated in a timely manner, it can easily lead to other related diseases, such as irregular menstruation, melasma, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, and other endocrine disorders. Breast hyperplasia is a disease of the gonadal axis, and the endocrine glands that cause breast hyperplasia are located on the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. Only medications that comprehensively regulate the hormone secretion of each gland on the gonadal axis can be more effective in treating breast hyperplasia. Therefore, once breast hyperplasia is detected, it is still recommended that patients seize the opportunity to seek timely treatment.
