What are the symptoms of male breast hyperplasia?

Regardless of men or women, the growth and development of breasts depends on the balance of estrogen, progesterone, growth hormone, prolactin, etc. Once these growth hormones are metabolized excessively or blocked, the balance will be disrupted, which can stimulate breast tissue proliferation. Under normal circumstances, male breasts are in an inactive state under the control of male hormones, but due to some reasons, the body's male hormone level is weakened, or the estrogen level is relatively or absolutely increased, which can cause breast tissue proliferation.

Male breast hyperplasia may also be accompanied by the following symptoms:

1. Damage to liver function due to cirrhosis, liver cancer, and hepatitis may cause the body's estrogen elimination function to weaken, leading to increased estrogen levels.

2. Abnormalities in the growth and development of sex hormones, such as poor testicular development in young men with pseudohermaphroditism, accompanied by increased pituitary gonadotropin.

3. Adrenal tumors with masculinization often develop as malignant changes during puberty or adulthood. In addition to breast development, they are accompanied by testicular atrophy and penis shrinkage, and sexual characteristics decrease. The amount of ketosteroid hormones and estrogen excretion in feces increases.

Treatment: Male breast hypertrophy can be cured if treated actively and reasonably in the early stage. However, when breast tissue hyperplasia becomes serious over a long period of time, it is an irreversible change and must be treated with surgery. In addition, attention should be paid to diet. Eat more cabbage, beans, kelp, freshwater fish, and yogurt.

Chinese cabbage contains a compound, accounting for about 1% of its net weight, which can help dissolve estrogen.

Soy products contain soy isoflavones, which can effectively inhibit the occurrence of breast cancer.

Freshwater fish contains an unsaturated fat that can effectively inhibit the growth, development and reproduction of tumor cells, which is helpful in preventing breast cancer.
