Pain on the outside of the breast

There are many capillaries and lymphocytes distributed around the breast. Lymphocytes have a detoxifying effect. However, if you feel pain on the outside of the breast, it may be due to a tumor caused by blockage. Breast hyperplasia and breast nodules are two common conditions. Female friends must pay attention to the occurrence of this disease and make timely adjustments and solutions to avoid causing more serious diseases. So what is the cause of pain on the outside of the breast?

The clinical manifestations of fibrocystic breast disease are non-specific. Many benign and malignant breast diseases can cause breast pain and breast nodules, so differential diagnosis is very important. Cystomatous breast disease may be complicated by breast tumors, including breast cancer. Therefore, the diagnosis of breast hyperplasia should first exclude benign and malignant breast tumors.

1. Psychotherapy

The occurrence of breast hyperplasia is often related to fatigue, irregular life, mental stress and excessive pressure. The first step in treating breast hyperplasia is to relieve stress from life and work, eliminate worries, feel happy and have a peaceful mind, and the symptoms can be relieved.

2. Treatment with traditional Chinese medicine

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that breast hyperplasia begins with liver depression, and then blood stasis and phlegm coagulate into lumps. The treatment should be to soothe the liver and regulate qi, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, soften and disperse nodules. Bupleurum, white peony, Cyperus rotundus, citrus leaf, Salvia miltiorrhiza, and earthworms are commonly used medicines in traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions. Some patients can also take patent Chinese medicines, such as: Sanjieling, Rukuaixiao, Runing, Rukangpian, Xiaoyaosan or Danzhi Xiaoyaosan (jiawei Xiaoyaosan), etc. On the premise of excluding breast malignancy, external treatments of traditional Chinese medicine can also be tried, such as: Chinese medicine bras, acupuncture, massage, etc.

3. Western medicine treatment

Hormone drugs, iodine preparations and tamoxifen can be used to relieve pain, but they are not the first choice because of certain side effects. Vitamins A, B6, and E also have the function of regulating sex hormones and can be used as auxiliary medications for breast hyperplasia.

4. Surgery

Fibrocystic breast disease is caused by endocrine metabolic imbalance and has no surgical indications. In clinical practice, if individual breast nodules are difficult to distinguish from breast cancer, surgical resection can be used and the diagnosis can be confirmed by pathological examination.
