What is a breast nodule?

What women fear most is their deputy department level, because gynecological diseases not only make the body feel uncomfortable, but also may affect women's pregnancy function. Breast diseases generally affect women's breastfeeding problems. The more common breast disease is that women's breasts will have some nodules, which will be painful before menstruation. So what are breast nodules?

Breast nodules are cystic hyperplasia of the breast, a non-tumor disease. Common in women of childbearing age, spontaneous remission after menopause. There are 4 types:

1. Mastodynia (pain before and during menstruation during adolescence, no lumps, disappears after menstruation).

2. Lobular hyperplasia (20-35 years old, premenstrual pain, accompanied by multiple nodules. Relieved after menstruation). Treatment with Xiaoyao Pills.

3. Fibroadenoma or papilloma (single mass, clear border, large mobility, no pain, adhesion). Take Xiaoyaosan 3-9g, 3 times a day, and check regularly. Surgical removal if necessary.

4. Fibrocystic hyperplasia or sclerotic mastopathy (after the age of 30, multiple small nodules, in patches, tough texture, unclear boundaries, often bilateral, mild tenderness. Related to the menstrual cycle). Surgical treatment.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that if the emotions are not smooth, the liver qi cannot be discharged normally, resulting in qi stagnation and blood stasis. People with Chong and Ren disorders often have menstrual disorders and facial pigmentation. Modern medicine believes that marriage, childbirth, diet, the external environment in which people live, and genetic factors are the main causes of breast disease.

Modern Western medicine believes that marriage, childbirth, diet, the external environment in which people live, and genetic factors are the main causes of breast disease.

Disease treatment

Since breast hyperplasia is mainly caused by hormonal imbalance, treatment should start with regulating endocrine system. The traditional Chinese medicine Hunyuan Paste has its unique features, especially for those suffering from Chong and Ren disorders, constipation, and combined with breast hyperplasia. The goal of completely curing breast hyperplasia is achieved through the principle of continuous drug administration and osmotic absorption.

At present, the best way to treat breast hyperplasia is the treatment principle of traditional Chinese medicine:

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

The nipples and breasts are where the liver meridian runs. Women's innate liver is responsible for storing blood and regulating discharge. The liver 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 problems. 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 the 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.
