Causes of recurrence of breast fibroids

Breast fibroids are a common disease, which can cause great harm to women's bodies. Women need to receive timely treatment after suffering from such a disease, otherwise, when the disease becomes serious, it can cause great harm to women's bodies. Breast fibroid treatments include medication and surgery, which are good choices and can help alleviate women's condition. But what causes the recurrence of breast fibroids? This is something many people don't know.

Causes of recurrence of breast fibroids:

First, during traditional surgery for breast fibroids, the capsule is not completely removed, which causes "recurrence" of breast fibroids.

Second, the possibility of new tumor occurrence. Although the surgery removes the fibroids, the problem of excessive estrogen in the body is still not resolved, so new fibroids are likely to develop.

Third, because breast fibroids are similar to uterine fibroids and are multifocal, relatively smaller fibroids may be missed during surgical resection and later discovered as they grow larger. These are all reasons that lead to postoperative recurrence of fibroids.

TCM treatment methods:

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

The nipples and breasts are where the liver meridian runs. Women's liver is innate, and it stores blood and regulates excretion. It 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 diseases. 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 coagulation has a certain influence on the pathogenesis of breast disease. Resolving phlegm, softening hard masses, reducing swelling and dispersing nodules can help the swelling and pain disappear.

After understanding the causes of recurrence of breast fibroids, women need to seek timely treatment when they encounter such a situation. After the recurrence of breast fibroids, women will experience obvious physical discomfort. At this time, women should pay attention to adjusting their emotions so that the recurrence of breast fibroids will not affect other aspects of the body.
