Differences Between Breast Lumps and Breast Hyperplasia

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Expert, hello, I sometimes feel like there is a hard lump in my upper left breast when I touch it? It swells and aches before and after menstruation. Could you please explain the difference between breast hyperplasia and breast lumps?

Doctor's answer:

Hyperplasia of the breast can be normal glandular hyperplasia, such as during development or menstruation, caused by changes in hormone levels in the body, and it is not a pathological change. Breast nodules, on the other hand, are often caused by pathological hyperplasia and can be associated with various breast diseases.
