Do I need to take medicine for breast hyperplasia?

Cystoma is neither a tumor nor an inflammation. From the histological point of view, it is the hyperplasia and degeneration of breast tissue, which is closely related to endocrine and nervous dysfunction. The disease is more common in middle-aged women, but also occurs in adolescents and postmenopausal women. Nowadays, 50%-70% of urban working women have varying degrees of breast hyperplasia. The harm is not the disease itself, but the mental stress and worry about whether you have breast cancer or will develop cancer in the future.

How to treat:

Fibrocystic breast disease is caused by endocrine nerve dysfunction. If the breast pain is mild, you can adjust your mental state and relieve work pressure. If the pain is severe, Chinese medicine treatment is strongly recommended and regular follow-up visits are recommended.

1. Psychotherapy

The occurrence of breast hyperplasia is usually related to fatigue, irregular daily life, tension and anxiety, and excessive work pressure. The first step in treating breast hyperplasia is to relieve daily life and stress, eliminate worries, be happy and calm, and the symptoms can be alleviated.

2. Treatment with Traditional Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that breast hyperplasia originates from liver qi stagnation, which then causes blood stasis and phlegm to turn into lumps. The treatment should be to soothe the liver and regulate qi, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and resolve lumps. Scutellaria baicalensis, red peony root, Cyperus rotundus, citrus leaf, Salvia miltiorrhiza, and earthworms are commonly used medicines in traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions. Some patients can also take Chinese herbal prescriptions, such as: Xiaojieling, Rukuaixiao, Runing, Rukangpian, Xiaoyaosan or Danzhixiaoyaosan (jiaweixiaoyaosan), etc. Under the premise of other breast malignant tumors, Chinese medicine external treatment methods can also be used, such as: Chinese herbal bras, Chinese medicine acupuncture, massage, etc.

3. Drug treatment

Hormones, iodine Chinese medicine preparations and tamoxifen can be used to relieve pain, but they are not preferred because of certain side effects. Vitamins D, B6, and E also have the function of regulating hormones and can be used as auxiliary medications for breast hyperplasia.

4. Surgery

Cystoma hyperplasia is caused by endocrine and metabolic disorders and has no surgical indications. In clinical medicine, if certain breast lumps are difficult to distinguish from breast cancer, surgical removal can be used and the diagnosis can be confirmed by pathophysiological examination.

Causes

Under the action of endocrine hormones, especially estrogen, the breast will undergo changes in proliferation and involution as the physiological cycle changes. Due to some reasons, endocrine hormone metabolism disorders and increased estrogen levels may lead to excessive breast tissue proliferation and incomplete recovery. After a period of time, the hyperplastic breast tissue cannot completely disappear, resulting in breast hyperplasia.

1. Create good living habits, adjust the rhythm of life, and maintain a happy mood. Keep exercising, actively participate in business activities, and avoid and reduce mental and psychological anxiety factors.

2. Learn and master the method of personal breast examination, and develop the habit of breast self-examination once a month. The best time for self-examination is after menstruation or between two menstrual periods. At this time, the breasts are relatively soft, without swelling or pain, and are prone to abnormalities. Postmenopausal women can choose a fixed time every month to perform breast self-examination. If any abnormalities or clinical symptoms different from the past are found during self-correction and self-examination, go to the hospital outpatient clinic for medical treatment immediately.

3. Actively participate in breast cancer screening or routine breast examination once a year.
