Overview

Breast hyperplasia (hyperplastic disease of the breast, HMG) is the most common benign breast condition, accounting for over 70% of all breast disease cases. It predominantly affects women aged 25-45 and is characterized by breast pain (mastalgia), palpable lumps, and cyclical swelling that worsens before menstruation. While generally benign, it significantly impacts quality of life and causes considerable anxiety about potential malignancy.
