What are the causes of lumps in the breast?

Feeling a lump in the breast is a common phenomenon. Some are related to diseases, while others are related to mental conditions and endocrine system. Therefore, it is important to know how to identify the specific causes in order to facilitate treatment and relief. Do not take medication indiscriminately if there is a problem.

1. Endocrine disorders: Decreased secretion of progesterone and relative increase in estrogen are important causes of breast hyperplasia. Such as incomplete ovarian development, irregular menstruation, thyroid disease and liver dysfunction.

2. Emotional and other mental factors: Negative mental factors such as mental stress and emotional excitement can easily lead to breast hyperplasia. Staying up late and lack of sleep can also cause breast hyperplasia. These negative factors will also aggravate existing symptoms of breast hyperplasia.

3. Human factors: Female infertility due to advanced age, sexual dysfunction, artificial abortion, marital discord, non-breastfeeding, etc., which result in the breast being unable to have normal, periodic physiological activities, wearing too tight bras or too tight underwear, etc.

4. Unreasonable diet structure: high-fat, high-energy diet leading to excessive fat intake, and bad living habits such as drinking and smoking can induce breast diseases. In addition, people's diet is better now, and many people suffer from high blood pressure and high blood sugar, which can easily cause endocrine disorders in women and lead to breast hyperplasia.

5. Long-term use of estrogen-containing foods: Long-term excessive intake of estrogen by the human body will lead to endocrine imbalance. Some fast foods, feed used for artificially raised aquatic products and poultry also contain hormone ingredients. Long-term consumption will also lead to breast diseases.
