Patient's question:
Just found out, I don't know when it started, there is mild hyperplasia of the breast during the breast examination, and I found that the nipples are uneven when looking in the mirror.Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the Condition: Hello! Actually, you don't need to worry. The human body should be symmetrical, but in reality, there are indeed many asymmetrical phenomena, such as one eye being larger than the other, a slightly crooked nose bridge, one leg being longer than the other... The breasts can also be asymmetrical, with one being larger than the other and one nipple being higher than the other. These are very common, but they are usually covered by clothing and not visible to others. This is a normal phenomenon and there is no need to overthink it. It is not closely related to mild breast hyperplasia.Advice: You should choose a suitable bra that is not too tight. It is recommended to take some traditional Chinese medicine or patent medicine that can regulate the liver, promote qi flow, resolve blood stasis, and soften hard lumps (such as Xiaoyao Pills, Ru Pi Xiao, and Ru Zeng Ning). In addition to active medication, you should also pay attention to the following points in daily life:
(1) Regular check-ups and appropriate exercise to maintain a cheerful mood. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that negative emotions can lead to liver qi stagnation and pain in the flanks, as the breast and liver are closely related.
(2) Eat less food high in estrogen: The occurrence of breast diseases is closely related to estrogen, so the diet should avoid estrogen-rich foods, as otherwise, it may worsen the condition.
(3) Maintain a high-protein, low-fat diet: Consume more high-protein, low-fat foods such as dairy products, fish, beans, and eggs. High protein can supplement the body with amino acids, enhance the patient's nutrition and immunity. A low-fat diet is to avoid excessive fat intake, which can accumulate in the breasts, increase the burden on the breasts, and worsen the condition. Avoid greasy foods such as excessive fatty meat and lard.
(4) Eat on a regular schedule, in appropriate amounts, with small meals, and prefer light, nutritious foods. Consume more foods rich in vitamins, such as fresh fruits and vegetables. Carrots, green vegetables, celery, apples, kiwis, and coconuts are good sources of vitamins.
(5) Eat more coarse grains and, such as brown rice, corn, and whole wheat. Eat less refined rice and flour. Regularly consume nutrient-rich nuts and seeds, such as sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, watermelon seeds, peanuts, walnuts, apricots, almonds, and raisins.
(6) Maintain a regular lifestyle, balance work and rest, avoid induced abortions, and ensure a harmonious sex life. This can regulate endocrine disorders and keep bowel movements smooth, which will alleviate breast pain.
Hope this helps.
