Introduction
Pregnancy-related mammary gland hyperplasia cannot heal spontaneously, although clinical symptoms may remain relatively stable. Mammary gland hyperplasia is a common female breast condition closely related to endocrine disorders, usually caused by metabolic disturbances and degenerative changes in breast tissue cells. Significant fluctuations in hormone levels and emotional states may exacerbate the patient's clinical symptoms.

Breast hyperplasia is a common benign breast condition in women, closely associated with endocrine disorders. It is usually caused by metabolic disturbances and degenerative changes in breast tissue cells. Significant fluctuations in hormone levels or emotional stress may exacerbate the patient's clinical symptoms. Although estrogen levels in the body are relatively low during pregnancy, resulting in reduced stimulation of breast tissue, the already altered breast tissue cannot recover on its own. Therefore, breast hyperplasia does not self-resolve during pregnancy. Due to the relatively stable hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy and their milder effects on breast tissue, clinical symptoms tend to remain stable, and discomfort such as breast tenderness may even improve.
Pregnant women with breast hyperplasia are advised to maintain regular lifestyles, stay in good spirits, eat a light diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. They should also avoid compressing or putting pressure on the breasts to prevent worsening of symptoms.
