Can men also suffer from mastopathy?

Many people think that breast disease is a woman's patent, but it is not. The population of male breast diseases is also increasing. With the improvement of people's living standards, overeating and increasing estrogen in the body, many men suffer from mastopathy. The patients are mainly teenagers and elderly men with breast disease, and most of them don't realize this problem. Unless there is pain or obvious hyperplasia of the breast, they will notice that there is something wrong with the breast. Li Li, director of the endocrinology department of Liaoning Provincial People's Hospital, said that male patients with breast diseases often appear in outpatient clinics, mainly adolescents and the elderly. Adolescent boys are prone to breast diseases because of eating more meat and precocious food, unbalanced diet and nutrition, excessive estrogen intake and obesity. The elderly generally suffer from chronic diseases such as liver disease, which leads to disorder of estrogen inactivation in the body, more estrogen in the body and hyperplasia of mammary glands. Boys with hyperplasia of mammary glands generally do not need special treatment. Li Li said that boys have hyperplasia of mammary glands. As they enter adolescence, the increase of androgen can counteract the effect of estrogen on the body. Parents only need to let their children exercise more and eat more vegetables and fruits. Generally, no special treatment method is needed. However, most of mammary gland hyperplasia in the elderly need treatment. Li Li said that the elderly suffering from breast hyperplasia need to check the primary disease, whether there is liver disease, diabetes, kidney disease and so on. Many elderly people often have pain, and there is a possibility of malignant transformation. It is best to remove them. Men should exercise more to prevent mastopathy and avoid obesity. Li Li said that male friends should pay more attention to diet and exercise, and usually exercise more to prevent excessive fat accumulation. Fat is the raw material of estrogen, and obese men are prone to this disease.
