Breast hyperplasia dietary taboos

There are not so many dietary taboos for breast hyperplasia that require one-size-fits-all. At present, it is clinically clear that the only ones that need to be avoided first are Long-term and large intake of foods/supplements containing highly active exogenous estrogens , and the rest of the "can't drink soy milk, can't drink coffee, and can't eat spicy foods" spread on the Internet are all within the scope of individual adjustments, and there is no unified standard of "absolutely not to eat".

I just met a 32-year-old girl in the clinic last week. In order to nourish her breasts, she has not touched coffee and milk tea for a whole year. She even dared to filter out the residue of soy milk and drank it. She ate boiled vegetables every day. However, when she came for a follow-up examination, the hyperplasia was not cured. She secretly cried twice because of her craving for milk tea. Recently, Aunt Sanyue's chest hurt so much that she couldn't even wear underwear. It’s really not necessary. Many people overestimate the role of diet, but ignore that emotions, work and rest have a greater impact on the breast glands than what they eat.

The only uncontroversial minefield is highly active exogenous estrogens, either synthetic or animal-derived. For example, royal jelly, snow clams, sheep placenta, and those unknown ingredients beauty pills and ovary maintenance products sold in the circle of friends that claim to "replenish qi and blood and reverse growth". These products contain high estrogen activity. Long-term consumption will directly disrupt the estrogen level in the body. It is only physiological hyperplasia, but if consumed for a long time, it may stimulate the formation of nodules. Interestingly, there are also differences of opinion on this part: Some schools of traditional Chinese medicine believe that if ingredients such as snow clams are only eaten once in a while and in small amounts each time, such as stewed snow clams once every six months to nourish yin, there will be no problem. Only Western medicine will clearly remind you not to eat them for more than a week in a row, let alone take them as daily skin care products. By the way, here is a rumor that has been circulating for more than ten years: Regularly raised white-feathered chickens grow quickly due to their breed and do not take estrogen at all. The soy isoflavones in soybeans are phytoestrogens, and their activity is less than one ten thousandth of human estrogen. Instead, they regulate hormone levels in the body in both directions. Drinking two cups of soy milk a day is completely fine and will not aggravate hyperplasia at all.

As for whether milk tea and fried chicken, which are the most frequently asked questions, can be eaten, it really depends on the person. If your BMI is over the standard, you usually like sweets, and your body fat rate is very high, you really need to control it - because adipose tissue will convert into endogenous estrogen, and high estrogen levels will naturally aggravate hyperplasia and swelling. But if you are thin and have a normal metabolism, drinking one or two cups of milk tea and eating fried chicken a week will have no effect at all. I once had a patient who completely gave up all sweet foods. His mood was so bad that he quarreled with her husband every day, and her breast hyperplasia became more serious. Later, she relaxed to drinking fruit tea once a week, and her mood improved. Most of the chest pain symptoms she had during the review last month disappeared.

Caffeine-containing foods such as coffee and chocolate are even more controversial. According to current Western medicine research, consuming less than 300mg of caffeine per day, which is about one medium cup of caffeine, will not aggravate breast hyperplasia, and some studies have even shown that it can reduce the risk of malignant breast diseases. But there are some people who are sensitive to caffeine. If they drink half a cup, they will suffer from insomnia and palpitations. If they drink it before their aunt, their chest pain will be doubled, so they should definitely avoid it. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, caffeine is a stimulating "hair substance" that can aggravate liver stagnation and qi stagnation. If you are prone to sulking and have obvious swelling and pain in your chest and flanks, it is indeed recommended to drink less, but it is not completely forbidden. If you are really greedy, drinking half a cup of latte is not a big deal.

As for spicy food, it’s even more mysterious. You see, girls in Sichuan and Chongqing eat hot pot skewers every day, and the incidence of breast hyperplasia is not higher than in other places. However, some girls are prone to getting angry and having breast swelling before menstruation. After eating spicy hot pot, they are so painful that it is difficult to lift their arms. So they must endure it first and wait until their aunt is gone before eating.

By the way, I would like to remind everyone, don't believe in "special dietary prescriptions for breast hyperplasia" or "health products for eliminating nodules". Last year, I met an aunt who spent more than 20,000 to buy a "breast treasure" that is said to be able to eliminate hyperplasia. After taking it for half a year, it was only mild physiological hyperplasia. In the end, it was found that breast nodules were grade 3. I took the health product for testing and found that a large dose of estrogen was secretly added to it, which actually stimulated the breast tissue.

In fact, to put it bluntly, 90% of breast hyperplasia is physiological, and it has a much greater relationship with whether you stay up late and whether you are angry or not than what you eat. There is really no need to check the list of taboos on the Internet one by one and worry about everything you eat. Emotional anxiety will only aggravate hyperplasia. As long as you avoid the clear minefield of exogenous estrogen, the rest just follow your body's feelings - if you feel uncomfortable after eating it, eat less next time. If you feel better after eating it, it won't matter if you eat it once in a while. After all, happiness is the best breast care product.
