         In today’s society, 80% of female suffering from varying degrees Breast hyperplasia , breast hyperplasia has become so common that it can become a topic of conversation among any group of women. If a woman replaces "It's a nice day today" with "Hey, who is that? Do you have breast hyperplasia?" ”It can also start a lively discussion immediately.

      Breast glands are also lonely

      Menstruation is a product of loneliness. In fact, the breasts are also lonely. The female classmates all know that if you want to feel more comfortable, your aunt has to upgrade the cup size of her bra to a higher level because her breasts have grown a little. In fact, this is estrogen and progesterone helping your breasts prepare for pregnancy.

      At the time of ovulation (about 2 weeks before menstruation), estrogen secretion reaches its peak, and progesterone secretion also slowly increases. After the egg is released, estrogen levels will temporarily drop. However, 1-2 days after ovulation, the corpus luteum (formed by the follicle that releases the egg) begins to secrete estrogen and a large amount of progesterone. Estrogen can promote the development of mammary gland ducts, and progesterone will further promote the development of mammary glands on the basis of estrogen to prepare for feeding new life. As the breasts develop, and estrogen causes water and sodium to "retain" in our body (there is some edema in the body before menstruation, it is also due to estrogen), the breasts will naturally be a little larger than usual (sensitive women may also feel distended pain)。

      But if the egg cannot wait, sperm Come to combine, 9-10 days after ovulation, the corpus luteum will begin to degenerate and shrink, and the levels of estrogen and progesterone will quickly drop to the lowest level. Without the support of estrogen and progesterone, the mammary gland will stop developing and return to its original state.

      Sometimes fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone can also affect breasts skin The sebaceous glands secrete normally, and the nipple and surrounding skin cannot be moisturized by sebum, so it becomes dry and itchy. As soon as the aunt comes, the sebaceous glands will resume their work and the symptoms will be relieved. Until then, it is better to artificially strengthen moisturizing and moisturizing.

      From this point of view, the swollen breasts, slight swelling and pain, and dry and itchy nipples before the arrival of the aunt are just a small expression of the body's desire to give birth to a new life, rather than breast hyperplasia.

      Hormone imbalance, breast hyperplasia

      In addition to the periodic swelling of the breasts before and after menstruation, some female students feel like being tortured when wearing a bra. The pain will also radiate to the armpits, shoulders and back, and sometimes there will even be lumps in the breasts. This is not a sign of lonely breasts, but may be a sign of breast hyperplasia causing trouble.

      The cause of breast hyperplasia is not very clear, but it is generally believed that the disease is caused by multiple factors. If a woman's endocrine system is not strong enough to withstand stress and is affected by factors such as environment, diet, emotions, etc., she may secrete too much estrogen or reduce her secretion of progesterone, or her breasts may be too sensitive to estrogen. Absolute or relatively high estrogen levels will break the normal proliferation-involution cycle of the breast, causing the breast to begin pathological hyperplasia and poor involution, which results in breast hyperplasia.

      Before the aunt reports, the estrogen level that should have been reduced is still relatively high, which will cause excessive hyperplasia of breast glands. Water and sodium are retained in the breast tissue. Although the breasts become larger, they also become more painful. Although the pain is so unbearable, breast hyperplasia is by no means breast cancer precancerous lesions, so there is no need to panic.

      Let the breasts no longer be lonely

      What should I do if I have breast hyperplasia? Change your lifestyle and have a baby soon. In modern society, women hold up half the sky, and their economic status has risen, but various healthy Changes also followed.

      Too much mental stress, too much fast food or takeaway food (which contains more fat than fiber), but not enough exercise to keep your body active. More importantly, the childbearing age of modern women has been greatly postponed. However, when the mammary glands are lonely for too long, progesterone may automatically be laid off, and the lonely mammary glands will develop into hyperplasia.

      Therefore, find ways to relieve all kinds of stress, eat foods high in fiber and low in fat, exercise more, and if possible, have a baby before the age of 30.
