What is the meaning of hyperplasia?

Patient's question:

A week ago, my patient was diagnosed with suspected left breast ductal carcinoma in situ through mammography and underwent radical lymph node dissection for left breast cancer. The pathology report showed moderate atypia. What is the meaning of hyperplasia?

Doctor's answer:

Hyperplasia is the phenomenon of cell proliferation through division and multiplication, which is divided into two types: physiological hyperplasia and pathological hyperplasia. General physiological hyperplasia is beneficial to the body and can promote the body's circulation, but pathological muscle hyperplasia is harmful to the body and can spread inflammation. You can go to the hospital to check what type of hyperplasia it belongs to, and then take appropriate treatment methods to control it. In recent years, the most common hyperplastic diseases are benign prostatic hyperplasia.
