It manifests as breast tissue hyperplasia, causing symptoms such as breast lumps, pain, and discomfort. The lumps are usually multiple, firm in texture, vary in size, and can be felt in different areas of the breast, though generally do not exceed 5 centimeters in diameter. The lumps may change with the menstrual cycle and are sometimes accompanied by breast tenderness. The degree of tenderness varies among individuals—some experience only mild discomfort, while others may suffer severe pain. The pain typically correlates with the menstrual cycle, often worsening before or after menstruation. Patients may feel tenderness upon touching the breast lumps or surrounding tissues, and in some cases, even exhibit palpation-induced pain of the lump itself. In addition to the above symptoms, breast hyperplasia may also be associated with nipple discharge. Patients experiencing these symptoms should seek timely medical attention for appropriate examination and diagnosis.
