Introduction
The severity of galactorrhea associated with mammary gland hyperplasia depends on the nature of the hyperplasia. Generally, galactorrhea caused by benign hyperplasia is not considered serious. However, galactorrhea resulting from malignant hyperplasia is more severe and requires prompt medical treatment. During recovery, strengthen care of the breast area and pay attention to dietary adjustments, avoiding raw, cold, spicy, and irritating foods.
Breast hyperplasia with galactorrhea may vary in severity depending on the nature of the hyperplasia. Generally, galactorrhea caused by benign hyperplasia is not considered serious. However, galactorrhea resulting from malignant hyperplasia is more severe and requires prompt medical treatment.
1. Not Severe
Long-term stress, mental tension, and irregular diet can all affect hormonal levels in the body, leading to breast hyperplasia, which in severe cases may result in galactorrhea. In such cases, timely medical evaluation is necessary. If diagnosed as benign hyperplasia, the condition is generally not dangerous and often does not require special treatment. Patients may take medications such as Xiaoyao Pills, Xiao Jin Pills, or Yanlu Rukang Capsules as directed by a physician to help resolve the hyperplasia through proper medication use.
2. Severe
If the examination reveals malignant hyperplasia, symptoms such as nipple discharge and breast pain may occur and worsen over time, producing serous or mucoid fluid. This situation is more serious and requires comprehensive evaluation. Surgery may be recommended under a doctor's guidance, followed by radiotherapy if necessary. Maintaining a positive mindset during treatment is also important.
