What causes breast cramps?

It is very common for women to suffer from breast diseases, which can occur at any age, so women should take good care of their breasts and fully understand their physical condition. So what causes breast cramps? When women have endocrine disorders, it will also manifest in their breasts. When breast inflammation occurs, there will be pain and feeling. Especially when women suffer from breast hyperplasia, they should pay attention to the development of the disease and seek timely treatment.

Cysplasia of the breast is neither a tumor nor an inflammation. From a histological point of view, it is the hyperplasia and degeneration of breast tissue, which is closely related to endocrine dysfunction. This disease is more common in middle-aged women, but it also occurs in adolescents and postmenopausal women. Today, 50%-70% of working women in big cities have varying degrees of breast hyperplasia. Fibrocystic breast disease is often manifested by breast pain and breast nodules. The harm lies not in the disease itself, but in the psychological pressure, and the worry that one may have breast cancer or will develop cancer in the future. There are many pathological types of breast hyperplasia, such as simple lobular hyperplasia (accounting for the majority of breast hyperplasia). As long as you pay attention to adjusting your mentality and relieving stress, it may gradually improve. If lobular hyperplasia of the breast is accompanied by ductal epithelial hyperplasia and presents severe atypia, it is a precancerous lesion (accounting for a very small proportion) and requires active treatment and regular examinations to prevent the disease before it occurs.

Causes

Under the influence of endocrine hormones, especially estrogen and progesterone, the breast will undergo changes in proliferation and involution as the menstrual cycle changes. Due to certain reasons, endocrine hormone metabolism is unbalanced and estrogen levels increase, which can lead to excessive breast tissue proliferation and incomplete restoration. After a period of time, the hyperplastic breast tissue cannot completely disappear, resulting in breast hyperplasia.

treat

Fibrocystic breast disease is caused by endocrine dysfunction. For those with mild breast pain, you can adjust your psychology and buffer stress. For those with severe pain, traditional Chinese medicine treatment and regular check-ups are recommended.

1. Psychological treatment: The occurrence of breast hyperplasia is often related to fatigue, irregular life, mental tension and excessive stress. 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 can use hormone drugs, iodine preparations and tamoxifen, which can relieve pain. However, due to certain side effects, it is not the first choice. Vitamins A, B6, and E also have the function of regulating sex hormones and can be used as auxiliary medications for breast hyperplasia.

4. Surgical treatment of fibrocystic breast disease is caused by endocrine metabolic imbalance and there is no surgical indication in itself. 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.
