Progesterone does two things, it is the precursor to androgens which are the precursors to estrogens, and it causes duct branching.
Because of body hair, it could be that progesterone is converted into androgens, and not enough of it is aromatized into estrogen.
Lumps can be from too much progesterone, or too much of another hormone. I hypothesize that too much duct branching without elongation can cause a lot of crowded tissue, but this doesn't explain lumps from too much estrogen, except for unhealthy cell growth.
If anyone is having these problems, avoid prolactin and progesterone herbs, like fenugreek, fennel. PM looks too risky. Fruits, vegetables, grains, vitamins, and green tea hopefully should help.
I hypothesize that aromatase/phytoestrogen such as tea tree, or lavender could help, but anyone with lumps, it is not worth the risk. Something such as lavender might help, or it might make things worse when a lump is already present. This study is worth reading, Epigenetic reactivation of estrogen receptor-α (ERα) by genistein enhances hormonal therapy sensitivity in ERα-negative breast cancer . They normally treat lumps with androgens.
As suggested above a cleanse sounds good.
