There is a painless lump under the breast

Breasts are the most important secondary sexual characteristics of women. They are also the organs that women use to feed their offspring. They can secrete large amounts of milk and provide rich nutrition to babies. However, the special structure of the breast makes it prone to disease, posing a great threat to women's health. The most common problems inside the breast include the growth of lumps, etc. Let’s take a look at what to do if there is a lump on the lower side of the breast that does not hurt?

It could be breast hyperplasia. It is a common disease among women, mostly caused by work pressure and emotional instability, such as anger and depression. It is also closely related to hormone levels and diet. It is necessary to go to the hospital for a B-ultrasound to clarify.

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.
