What dietary taboos should be noted for breast hyperplasia?

Breast hyperplasia is mostly a physiological change tied to the menstrual cycle. There are no absolute dietary taboos at all. The only thing that needs to be 100% avoided is foods and health products that are clearly added with exogenous estrogen.

Not long ago, I met a 28-year-old girl in the clinic. In order to follow the "age-freezing" trend of Internet celebrities, she ate breast enhancement gummies bought overseas for more than three months. Originally, she only experienced swelling for two or three days before her menstruation. During that time, it hurt to lift her arms. B-ultrasound showed that the breast hyperplasia was much heavier than before. Less than two months after stopping those gummies, the swelling and pain basically disappeared. Many of these supplements of unknown origin secretly add estrogen and progesterone, which is equivalent to directly "adding fuel to the fire" to the mammary glands that fluctuate with hormones. This is the real minefield. In addition, it is best not to touch products such as estrogen and progesterone beauty pills and ovary maintenance products.

As for the rumors on the Internet that soy milk and honey cannot be eaten, it is actually a misunderstanding. Some colleagues have done previous small sample studies and said that for people who are particularly sensitive to soy isoflavones, drinking a large amount of soy milk may aggravate swelling and pain. However, this "large amount" means drinking three to four liters a day. Ordinary people drink a cup of soy milk in the morning and evening, and occasionally eat tofu. The ingested soy isoflavones can regulate estrogen levels in the body in both directions, which is equivalent to helping the breast glands "stabilize" hormone fluctuations, which is beneficial. Honey is even more so. The estrogen-like content in it is so low that it can be ignored. Unless you eat three to five kilograms in one meal, it will not have any impact on hormones. A nurse colleague of mine has been suffering from hyperplasia for several years. She makes a cup of warm honey water every morning. She has never seen the hyperplasia worsen during annual physical examinations.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that you can eat everything you want. For example, people who drink iced milk tea, deep-fried fried chicken, and drinks several times a week have their own metabolism disordered, and their hormone levels are likely to fluctuate accordingly, and the swelling and pain of the breasts will naturally be more obvious. There are also many people who have uncomfortable bloating before menstruation and insist on eating ice drinks or spicy hot pot. The pain is even worse after eating. In fact, it is the same as if you have diarrhea and eat ice, the pain will be more severe. It is not that you can't eat it at all, but you can control it a little during the uncomfortable period so that you will suffer less.

To put it bluntly, breast hyperplasia is more like a "cyclical mood" of the breasts. There is no need to dare not eat or touch that because of it. As long as you avoid those messy estrogen supplements and have a slightly balanced daily diet, it will work regardless of strict taboos.
