One of the main factors that lead to the development of mastitis is a so-called hormonal imbalance, which is associated with changes in the levelProgesterone in the blood. In consequence of the lack of this hormone, the proliferation of breast tissue occurs and mastopathy occurs.
Sometimes mastopathy can develop due to an overabundance of the prolactin hormone, which is produced in large quantities during pregnancy and lactation to form mother's milk. But there are cases when prolactin begins to be excessively secreted outside of pregnancy, which in itself is a pathology and as a result of this there is mastopathy.
