How effective is traditional Chinese medicine in treating breast hyperplasia?

Many women are troubled by the problem of breast hyperplasia. In fact, everyone should have heard a lot about this problem. Due to the particularity of the disease, people dare not treat it easily. Perhaps many times the reason is to take some traditional Chinese medicine for treatment, because in clinical practice, traditional Chinese medicine is a very good treatment method. So how is the effect of traditional Chinese medicine treatment for breast hyperplasia?

According to traditional Chinese medicine, the cause of this disease is mostly related to organ dysfunction and disharmony of Qi and blood. The diseased organs are the liver and spleen, especially those with weak spleen or those who eat too much spicy, fatty and sweet food, which damage the spleen and cause the spleen and earth's transportation and transformation function to be abnormal, and the accumulation of dampness into phlegm; or those who are born introverted, depressed, and prone to sulking, or have an impatient temperament and are easily angered, or are hurt by the seven emotions, and worry too much, which causes the liver to fail to vent, and depression turns into phlegm, etc., all of which can lead to the accumulation of phlegm and dampness, and stagnation of Qi and blood to form lumps.

The main clinical symptoms of breast hyperplasia are breast pain and breast lumps, which are often related to emotional changes during the menstrual cycle, excessive fatigue and other factors, or are accompanied by nipple pain and discharge. Its incidence rate ranks first among breast diseases. Domestic and foreign studies have shown that breast hyperplasia is definitely related to the occurrence of breast cancer. Breast epithelial hyperplasia significantly increases the risk of cancer:

1. Soothe the liver and regulate Qi, and regulate Qi flow.

The nipples and breasts are where the liver meridian runs. Women's innate liver is responsible for storing blood and regulating discharge. The liver is yin in nature but uses yang, making it easy for them to become depressed. People with breast lumps often have depressed temperament, excessive worries, or irritability, chest tightness and belching. Breast pain and changes in the size of the lump are also often related to emotional changes. Liver depression and qi stagnation have an important influence on the pathogenesis of breast problems. When the seven emotions are not smooth, the liver loses its smooth function, and liver depression and qi stagnation accumulate in the intestinal network, causing pain and lumps. Therefore, soothing the liver and regulating qi, and regulating qi are the main principles for treating breast lumps.

2. Promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and dredge milk meridians.

Breast pain and lumps are the main symptoms, both of which are characteristic manifestations of blood stasis syndrome. Worry, anger, depression and unhappiness will inevitably lead to poor liver qi and stagnation of qi, which will last for a long time and spread to the inside, causing blood circulation to be blocked and menstruation to be blocked, unable to fill the uterus and unable to overflow into the breasts. The milk meridians are blocked, qi stagnates and blood stagnates, forming lumps, which will cause pain. Before menstruation, the Chong and Ren meridians are filled with blood, causing breast swelling and pain to worsen. After menstruation, the Qi and blood are released, and the swelling and pain are relieved. It can be seen that it is inevitable for people with breast problems to develop blood stasis. During treatment, we must pay attention to promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, as well as unblocking the milk collaterals.

3. Resolve phlegm, soften hard masses, reduce swelling and disperse lumps.

Worrying too much can damage the spleen or cause liver depression and qi stagnation, which can go against the spleen and earth, and can cause the spleen to lose its healthy function, internal generation of phlegm and dampness, insufficient kidney qi, and malnutrition of the Chong and Ren meridians. If the spleen yang cannot be warmed, semen cannot be transported and transformed, and moisture accumulates to form phlegm. Liver depression lasts for a long time, turning into heat and fire, burning body fluid into phlegm. Phlegm, Qi, and blood stasis combine to form breast lumps. Therefore, phlegm congestion has a certain influence on the pathogenesis of breast diseases. Resolving phlegm, softening hard masses, reducing swelling and dispersing nodules can help the swelling and pain disappear without a trace.

After some understanding of the effect of traditional Chinese medicine in treating breast hyperplasia, we found that traditional Chinese medicine is very suitable for treating breast hyperplasia. Traditional Chinese medicine is often a means of treating both the symptoms and the root cause. In today's society, due to the fast-paced lifestyle, people are gradually more willing to use Western medicine for treatment. However, for some diseases, the effect of traditional Chinese medicine may be better. Everyone must prescribe the right medicine for the disease.
