1, men will get mammary gland hyperplasia.
1. In addition to the dominant androgen, men also have a small amount of estrogen produced by the adrenal cortex. Under normal circumstances, male breasts are undeveloped under the restriction of androgen. For some reasons, the decrease of androgen level or the relative or absolute increase of estrogen level may induce breast tissue hyperplasia.
2. Male adolescent mammary gland hypertrophy is a common physiological phenomenon, which mostly occurs at 13 ~ 16 years old. According to statistics, the incidence rate can reach 40% ~ 50%. This is because when the boy develops to this stage, the endocrine function in the body is gradually active, and at the same time, a large number of androgens are produced, and the production of estrogen is also increased. Some boys have temporarily disordered endocrine function, relatively excessive estrogen secretion, and the sensitivity of breast tissue to estrogen increases, so it will stimulate breast tissue hyperplasia and hypertrophy.
3. Adolescent male mammary gland hypertrophy can occur unilaterally or bilaterally at the same time, mostly localized hyperplasia, often forming a disc-shaped lump or nodule under the areola, with a diameter of about 2 ~ 3 cm and a clear edge, which can be pushed forward at will during examination. Breast hyperplasia can have swelling pain, mild tenderness, and even milky secretion. This physiological mammary gland hypertrophy is harmless to health, generally does not need treatment, and generally lasts for one year or a little longer. With the gradual improvement of endocrine function, it will naturally fade away.
The above is the reason why the man introduced to you by Bian Xiao will get mammary gland hyperplasia. The significant increase of estrogen level may lead to hyperplasia of breast tissue. Let's see what causes male breast hyperplasia.
2. Causes of male mammary gland hyperplasia.
1. Liver function damage: Under normal circumstances, estrogen produced in the body is destroyed and inactivated in the liver. When liver diseases occur, such as chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, etc., due to liver function damage, estrogen inactivation is weakened, and estrogen level in the body is increased, which stimulates breast hyperplasia and hypertrophy. In addition to breast hypertrophy, these patients also have other manifestations of liver function damage.
2, drug factors: the structure of some drugs or some aspects of pharmacological effects are similar to estrogen, after taking it, it can stimulate breast tissue proliferation. For example, digitalis, vitamin D, remifentanil, spironolactone, cerebrolysin, griseofulvin, chlorpromazine, cimetidine, methyldopa and so on all have this effect. Prostate cancer patients take estrogen for a long time because of the need of treatment, which is more likely to directly stimulate the breast and cause hyperplasia. The use of such drugs can reduce or avoid this situation, and the breasts will gradually return to normal.
3. Endocrine diseases: pathological changes and abnormal secretion of endocrine organs such as adrenal gland, pituitary gland and thyroid gland may directly or indirectly act on breast tissue through other hormones, especially estrogen, leading to hyperplasia of breast tissue. Of course, the diseases caused by these reasons, in addition to mammary gland hyperplasia, will also have corresponding endocrine disorders.
Conclusion: Estrogen secretion is relatively excessive, and many boys have breast enlargement in adolescence. This is a normal phenomenon. Parents don't have to worry. It may be caused by liver function damage, drug factors, endocrine diseases and other reasons. I hope everyone can find out the reason and prescribe the right medicine, which will play an important role in your treatment and rehabilitation.
3. Foods to prevent mammary gland hyperplasia
1, milk and dairy products
Milk and dairy products are rich in calcium, which is beneficial to breast health care.
2. Fish and seafood
Yellow croaker, turtle, loach, hairtail, octopus, squid, sea cucumber, oyster, kelp, laver, etc. It is rich in trace elements necessary for human body and has a unique function of protecting breast.
3. Edible fungi
Tremella, Auricularia auricula, Lentinus edodes, Hericium erinaceus, Poria cocos and other foods are natural biological reaction regulators, which can enhance human immunity and have a strong anti-cancer effect. Studies have shown that eating more edible fungi can add points to women's breast health.
4. Nuts and seed food
Seeds and nuts, including soybeans and peanuts containing lecithin, are rich in almonds, walnuts and sesame seeds from protein, and contain a lot of antioxidants, which can play an anti-cancer role. Moreover, nuts and seed foods can increase the human body's intake of vitamin E, and intake of rich vitamin E can make breast tissue more elastic.
5. Soybeans
Increasing soy food is good for breast health. Because soybeans and foods processed by soybeans contain isoflavones, this substance can reduce the estrogen level in women and relieve breast discomfort. If you eat two meals a day containing soybeans, such as tofu and soybean milk. It will be very beneficial to breast health.
6. Fruits and vegetables rich in cellulose
They can delay the emptying of the stomach, prolong the time for food to pass through the digestive tract and reduce fat absorption, thus inhibiting fat synthesis and reducing hormone levels, which is conducive to the recovery of breast hyperplasia diseases. Usually you can choose sweet potatoes, leeks, celery, asparagus, carrots, white beans, amaranth, kale, cauliflower and other vegetables. And you can also choose bananas, mulberries, pomegranate, kiwi fruit, ginseng fruit, wampee, mountain plum and other fruits.
7. Macroalgae
Kelp is a large edible algae. For women, it not only has health care functions such as beauty, hairdressing and slimming, but also can assist in the treatment of mammary gland hyperplasia. It is found that kelp can relieve hyperplasia of mammary glands because it contains a lot of iodine, which can promote luteinization of follicles, regulate endocrine disorders and reduce the risk of hyperplasia of mammary glands in women.
8. Iodized food
Kelp, sea cabbage and laver are all foods with high health value, but they are too common to be valued. Kelp is rich in various trace elements. Among all foods, kelp has the highest iodine content, and modern research has found that kelp can assist in the treatment of mammary gland hyperplasia. This is because it contains a lot of iodine, which can promote luteinization of follicles, thus reducing the level of estrogen in the body, regulating endocrine disorders, and finally eliminating the hidden dangers of breast hyperplasia.
