Hyperplasia of the breast is a common breast disease, primarily characterized by abnormal proliferation of breast tissue, usually associated with endocrine dysfunction. Its symptoms include breast distension, lumps, tenderness, and often occur or worsen around the menstrual period. Below are some common treatment methods for breast hyperplasia:

1. Lifestyle adjustments: Maintaining healthy habits such as regular sleep patterns, balanced diet, moderate exercise, and avoiding excessive fatigue and mental stress can help regulate the endocrine system and alleviate symptoms.

2. Medication therapy: Depending on the condition, drugs for regulating menstruation and relieving pain or traditional Chinese medicine for body regulation may be selected to relieve symptoms and improve the breast microenvironment. Some patients may require anti-estrogen drugs or luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analogs to regulate hormone levels.

3. Manual massage: Gentle manual massage of the breast can help relieve breast distension and promote breast circulation.

4. Acupuncture therapy: By regulating the body's energy flow, acupuncture can promote immune regulation and improve blood circulation, helping to alleviate symptoms of breast hyperplasia.

5. Laser therapy: Irradiation of breast tissue with laser can promote cellular metabolism and improve blood circulation, thereby reducing symptoms.

6. Surgical treatment: For patients with severe symptoms who do not respond well to medication, surgical treatments such as minimally invasive surgery or conventional surgery may be considered.
