Several methods of treating breast hyperplasia

Among the diseases that women fear the most in life, breast hyperplasia should be one of them. This disease poses a great threat to the health of women and also affects their lives and work. If we are sick, we need to seek treatment. So what kind of treatment can effectively treat breast hyperplasia? Is it better to treat breast hyperplasia with traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine?

The treatment method used to treat breast hyperplasia is very important. Every patient hopes to use the method that best suits him or her for treating breast hyperplasia. With current technology, we have three ways to treat breast hyperplasia, namely traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine and surgical treatment.

Three great ways to treat breast hyperplasia

1. Western medicine treatment. Since there is no definite understanding of the pathogenesis and causes of breast hyperplasia, Western medicine's treatment of breast hyperplasia is basically symptomatic, but it often brings certain side effects. There is also hormone therapy in Western medicine. Some people use androgens to treat this disease to inhibit the effects of estrogen, soften nodules, and relieve symptoms; but this treatment may aggravate the imbalance of hormones in the human body and is not suitable for routine use. It should only be considered when the symptoms are severe and affect normal work and life.

2. Treatment with traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine follows the basic principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment, combines the different characteristics of patients with breast hyperplasia, and adopts systematic, personalized, and disease-specific medication for targeted treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine has the special effects of regulating endocrine, replenishing Qi and blood, improving Qi and blood circulation, softening and dispersing nodules, and it has long-lasting effects, treats both the symptoms and the root causes, has no side effects, and has a solid therapeutic effect and is not prone to recurrence.

(1) Acupuncture: Acupuncture refers to inserting fine needles into the patient's body at certain acupuncture points, using acupuncture techniques such as twisting and lifting to open the meridians, regulate qi and blood, restore the relative balance of yin and yang, and harmonize the functions of the internal organs, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing and treating diseases. For patients with breast hyperplasia, acupuncture is more effective, and acupoints such as Tanzhong, Hegu, and Zusanli can be selected for treatment.

(2) Massage: Massage is mostly used as an auxiliary treatment method. It refers to applying both hands to the patient's body surface, injured or uncomfortable parts, and specific acupoints, using a variety of techniques such as pushing, holding, pressing, rubbing, kneading, pinching, tapping, and patting to achieve the effects of dredging meridians, promoting the flow of qi and blood, healing injuries and relieving pain, eliminating evil and strengthening the body, and harmonizing yin and yang. The techniques for treating breast hyperplasia mainly include pushing and stroking, kneading, holding, pinching, etc.

(3) Chinese herbal decoctions: Chinese medicine emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment. The prescription is based on a comprehensive analysis of the patient's symptoms, tongue pattern, pulse, etc. For example, Xiaoyao Powder can be used with modifications for liver evil and qi stagnation type. The prescription composition includes: licorice, angelica, Poria, Atractylodes macrocephala, white peony root, and Bupleurum chinense; Erxian Decoction can be used with modifications for Chong and Ren disorder type. Prescription ingredients: Curculigo, Epimedium, Morinda officinalis, Angelica sinensis, Phellodendron amurense, Anemarrhena asphodeloides. In addition to the above situations, this disease also includes multiple syndromes, all of which can be treated with corresponding prescriptions.

3. Surgical treatment. It is not recommended for patients with breast hyperplasia. Surgical treatment causes extensive damage, only treats the symptoms but not the root cause, is prone to recurrence, and requires a recovery period after surgery, which is difficult to accept. However, for patients with more severe breast hyperplasia, if a lump is found that grows rapidly or becomes hard in a short period of time, the possibility of cancer should be highly suspected, and a biopsy or simple breast resection should be performed if necessary. If cancer cells are found in frozen sections during surgery, the patient should be treated as having breast cancer.

Female friends are now more and more concerned about their health, so once female friends find that there is a slight problem with their breasts, they need to pay more attention and go to the hospital in time. After diagnosis, they can use traditional Chinese medicine, Western medicine or surgery to treat breast hyperplasia according to the condition of their disease and their physical fitness, so that they can have a healthy body.
