Old woman breast enlargement

Introduction With age, older women have ovarian atrophy, functional decline, and changes in sex hormones, which cause the breast gland to degenerate, but the fibrous tissue around the milk duct is hardening more and more, and there is calcification, and the milk duct and blood vessels are hardened and occluded. The breast gradually shrinks, becomes smaller, and the limbs are slack. For some elderly obese women, the breast does not shrink but increases, which is due to the accumulation of fat in the breast, in fact, the breast gland in the breast has been basically degraded. Excessive development of female breasts, hyperplasia of glands and fat connective tissue, volume is abnormal, and the body is obviously out of tune.

Cause

There are two reasons for breast enlargement in older women:

The first is an elderly woman with a wide body and a fat body. After she gains weight, her breasts become full. It can be corrected by reasonable diet and exercise.

Secondly, the cause of breast enlargement is breast enlargement caused by breast hyperplasia, giant breast, adenoma, fatty hemangioma and even breast cancer. Such as pituitary, ovary, adrenal gland and other organ lesions, causing increased levels of estrogen, stimulate the development of breast gland tissue, and make the breasts "rejuvenate."

an examination

According to clinical data, after 45-50 years of age, ovarian function gradually declines, menstruation gradually disappears, and estrogen levels in blood and body fluids gradually decrease, which leads to atrophy of the glands in the breast, relaxation of the ligaments, and reduction of the breasts. Breast sagging is a physiological phenomenon that is common in middle-aged women after pregnancy and lactation, which is caused by the proliferation of glands and pedicle tissue in the breast.

Differential diagnosis

1, breast tissue hypertrophy: women from birth to old age, breast organs affected by sex hormones, to experience changes in infancy, early childhood, adolescence, pregnancy and lactation, menopause, and old age. Premenstrual or menstrual period due to physiological hyperemia of the breast, acinar hyperplasia and ductal dilatation and other tissue changes, so that the breast tissue is hypertrophic. The acinar and lobular ducts in the breast during breastfeeding were significantly increased and dense, the ductal dilatation was enlarged, the interlobular tissue was significantly reduced, the acinar epithelium was actively secreted, and some of the epithelium was changed from cubic to columnar. It also makes the breast tissue thick.

2, the breast is huge: adult female breast hypertrophy symptoms and signs of breasts huge: hypertrophic mammary gland is mostly drooping or gourd scoop-shaped nipples have more sag and shifting breasts each up to 5000 ~ 6000g or even tens of kilograms can be flat Umbilical knee.

3, breast hypertrophy: female breast over-development, containing glandular and fat connective tissue hyperproliferation, volume is abnormal, and the body is obviously imbalanced. Chest compression can occur, chronic mastitis, pain, heavy shoulder pain and skin erosion under the breast. Big breast disease is more common in adolescent girls or young women, often on both sides, occasionally limited to one side. Excessive breasts are caused by abnormalities in estrogen caused by glands and fat connective tissue. Genetic factors are also one of the relevant factors. Many breast cancer patients have a double sense of treatment and beauty because of their unsatisfactory body, escaping socialism and morbid morbid psychology.
