Mammary gland dysplasia

Introduction Mammary gland dysplasia is characterized by breast dysplasia. Breast dysplasia is a congenital disorder, mainly due to the lack of glandular tissue, and the skin is still smooth and elastic. Occurring in one side is often associated with dysplasia or absence of pectoralis major. It can also be caused by burns in the breast area before puberty. Both sides may be caused by insensitivity to sex hormones in the mature stage of breast tissue. Nipple development can be normal. The breast is an ectodermal organ that originates from the skin and belongs to the shallow structure of the chest wall. From the age of 12 to 13 years old, the breasts begin to develop and mature to 15 to 17 years old. Despite the ethnic differences, roughly the mammary gland is composed of 15 to 20 glandular leaves. Breast dysplasia is essentially a lack of tissue, so it is advisable to increase the content of the breast, expand the volume, and improve the appearance, so that women can express the unique curvaceous beauty and charm.

2. Mammary gland degeneration: Breast tissue is increasing with age, endocrine secretion is reduced, various tissues are declining, and the mammary gland tissue begins to degenerate, slowly entering the menopause, and the human body gradually enters the old age.

3. Cystic hyperplasia of the breast: This disease is one of the common and frequently-occurring diseases in women. It is more common in women aged 25-45 years. It is essentially a disorder of the normal structure of the breast caused by physiological hyperplasia and incompleteness. In China, cystic changes are rare, mostly glandular hyperplasia, so it is called "mammary hyperplasia". The World Health Organization (WHO) collectively refers to "benign breast dysplasia." The risk of malignant transformation is 2 to 4 times higher than that of normal women. Clinical signs and symptoms are sometimes mixed with breast cancer.
