How to treat breast calcifications?

Breasts are very important for a woman. They are not only a tool to enhance female charm, but more importantly, they are an indispensable organ for feeding the next generation. However, if you do not pay attention to care in daily life, various breast diseases may occur, such as breast hyperplasia, breast calcification, etc. Many people are familiar with breast hyperplasia, but many people don’t know much about breast calcification. So how to treat breast calcification?

Different breast diseases have different mechanisms of calcification. There are many factors that can lead to breast calcification, such as tissue degeneration, necrosis and calcium salt deposition. Some tumors secrete substances containing calcium salts, causing calcification of the tissue around blood vessels. Analyzing the morphology, number, location and relationship of calcifications with surrounding structures is of great help in identifying the nature of the lesions.

Calcification needs to be determined based on its specific morphology. Many benign calcifications can be treated by observation, but some suspected calcifications may require surgery. A minor surgical removal may be performed, followed by a pathological examination. 80% is a benign fibroid.

1. Surgical treatment: The method used is surgical resection. Its advantage is that the fibroid can be removed quickly. Its disadvantage is that the recurrence rate is extremely high, close to 100%. Now this treatment plan is suitable for larger single fibroids and is effective for menopausal women.

2. Western medicine treatment or Chinese medicine plus Western medicine treatment: This method is a hormone therapy, which is quick to take effect, but will relapse upon drug discontinuation. It is suitable for shrinking tumors before surgery, facilitating surgery, and is suitable for tumors that grow faster.

3. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment: The disadvantage is that the tumor elimination speed is slower than surgery and Western medicine treatment. The advantages are small side effects, good anti-recurrence effect, and the ability to stabilize the disease and prevent it from spreading or metastasizing. The removal effect is relatively good. For example, ginsenoside rh2 can effectively control tumor growth and enhance immunity.

Generally, women become ill during their childbearing years, when they have high levels of female hormone secretion and a very high recurrence rate. Therefore, surgical treatment is not recommended. Repeated surgeries will cause patients to lose confidence in treatment and worsen their condition. Such patients can use conservative treatment with Chinese medicine to achieve the ultimate cure.

Most breast calcifications are benign, but the possibility of malignancy cannot be ruled out. If breast calcifications occur, it is best to go to the hospital for examination. If necessary, surgery can be performed for treatment. Generally speaking, surgery is minimally invasive and does not have a great impact on patients. If medication can be used for treatment, it is best to adopt conservative treatment.
