Dietary taboos for breast hyperplasia

The first is substandard food/health products containing a large amount of exogenous estrogens, the second is long-term excessive high-sugar, high-fat and high-salt diet, and the third is irritating foods that will definitely trigger your personal discomfort. You can eat the rest of the food as normal, and there is no need to be overly restrictive. **

When it comes to estrogen-related diets, it is estimated that the first thing 90% of people want to ask is whether soy milk can be drunk. Popular science in the early years did mention that soy products contain phytoestrogens, which may aggravate hyperplasia, but evidence-based medical research in recent years has long overturned this conclusion: the soy isoflavones in soybeans are two-way regulators. When estrogen in the body is high, it will help reduce it, and when it is low, it can supplement it, which has a protective effect on the breast. I treated a 32-year-old patient two months ago. Because of severe premenstrual distension and pain, she heard online that she should not drink soy milk. She quit drinking soy milk for more than half a year, and the pain became even worse. Later, I asked her to drink a cup of warm freshly ground soy milk every day without adding too much sugar, and adjusted her schedule. After a review this month, she said that the distension and pain have been mostly relieved.

However, not all foods containing estrogen are safe. What you really need to avoid are those health products with unknown ingredients, such as breast enlargement pills sold on WeChat Moments, off-brand collagen drinks that claim to be anti-aging, and high-estrogens ingredients derived from animals such as snow clams and purple river carts. The estrogen content in these is really high. People with obvious symptoms of hyperplasia may suffer from pain for three to five days after eating them once. There is really no need to touch them. As for the off-season fruits and regularly farmed chicken that everyone is worried about, as long as they pass qualified testing, there will be no excess estrogen at all, and there is no problem eating them normally.

Many people don’t know that heavy food has a greater impact on the breast than you think. My best friend is a typical example. She was so greedy one week before her period that she drank iced milk tea and fried skewers for three days in a row. Her breasts were so swollen that she couldn't even wear underwired underwear. She went to check her hormones and found that the ratio of estrogen and progesterone was a bit messed up. Later, she stopped talking and drank milk tea at most twice a month, and the pain was 80% better. It’s not that you can’t take a bite of fried chicken and milk tea. It’s perfectly fine to satisfy your craving once in a while. I’m afraid that if you eat it every day, your body’s fat metabolism will be messed up, and your hormone levels will fluctuate accordingly. It’s strange that the hyperplasia won’t hurt.

As for whether irritating things like coffee, spicy hot pot, and wine can be eaten, there is really no unified answer. I have seen girls who are not happy with spicy food and have no symptoms of hyperplasia, and I have also seen patients who have been sore and bloated for two days after drinking half a glass of iced Americano. It all depends on the individual's reaction. If you don't feel any discomfort after eating, you can eat when you need to. There is no need to torture your mouth for a little growth. If it really hurts after eating, just eat less next time. There is no need to cut it across the board.

Finally, let me talk about the two rumors that people ask the most: one is that honey cannot be eaten, and the other is that chicken cannot be eaten. In fact, the estrogen content of honey produced by regular manufacturers is so low that it can be ignored. Unless you eat half a catty a day, it will not affect the breast glands at all. ； The same goes for formally raised white-feathered chickens. They are raised according to standard feeds and do not add excess estrogen at all. Don’t listen to the rumors spread on the Internet that “instant chickens are all hormones”. They are purely alarmist.

To be honest, more than 70% of women of childbearing age have physiological hyperplasia to varying degrees, which is essentially a normal change caused by hormone fluctuations. The impact of diet on it is really not as big as you think. On the contrary, you are anxious about the list of taboos every day, and are frightened if you don't comply with it at all. In addition, you often stay up late and get sulky, which is much more harmful to the breast than eating two bites of fried chicken. If you really want to feel more comfortable, stop worrying about what to eat, get more sleep, and be less idle. It will work better than any taboos.
