What is the best medicine for breast cysts?

Breast cysts are a common gynecological disease. If the condition is mild, it can return to normal by adjusting diet and mood. When the condition is more serious, you can take some Chinese patent medicine pills. Western medicine is usually hormone drugs, which may cause other side effects after taking them, so it is best to choose carefully. You should pay attention to adjusting your diet, avoid smoking and drinking, and the most important thing is to keep your mood calm.

What is a breast cyst

Breast cysts are divided into simple cysts (also known as cystic breast hyperplasia) and milk cysts. Both are benign lesions, covered by a thin layer of epithelial tissue, with the cystic contents mostly liquid, and appearing as anechoic nodules on B-ultrasound. Simple breast cysts are benign lesions mainly caused by ovarian dysfunction. Breast cysts are caused by ovarian dysfunction, decreased progesterone secretion, and increased estrogen secretion in the body, which leads to hyperplasia and shedding of the breast epithelium, causing the mammary lobules, tubules and terminal mammary ducts to become highly dilated and cystic. Clinically, simple breast cysts can be self-limited, and the lesions can stop after 3 years or more, but sometimes they can continue and eventually lead to cancer, but the chance is very small.

What medicine to take for breast cysts

It is recommended to take Xiaoyao Pills, Xiaojin Pills, Rupixiao Pills, etc. orally, and Rudanxiaojietie can be used as an external patch. Pay attention to eating less spicy, smoked, and estrogen-containing foods, avoid depression, anxiety and other negative emotions, and keep a happy mood.

Currently, the drugs used in clinical treatment of breast hyperplasia are mainly divided into three categories: topical medications, oral Western medicines, and oral Chinese medicines. Although topical medications can relieve pain symptoms, they do not regulate the cause of the disease, which is endocrine disorders. They only treat the symptoms and not the root cause (treating the symptoms but not the disease), which can easily cause patients to ignore the progression of the disease and delay treatment. Western medicines are mostly hormone drugs. When used alone for hormone treatment, they are easily restricted by other hormones, have poor overall endocrine regulation effects, and are prone to cause side effects such as weight gain and menstrual disorders. They are rarely used clinically. Oral Chinese medicine for the treatment of breast hyperplasia can regulate the human endocrine system because of its hormone-like effects, but its endocrine regulatory effect depends on whether the entire gonadal axis can be regulated. If the entire gonadal axis cannot be regulated, the effect of improving symptoms will be slow or even unnoticeable.

Breast cyst dietary taboos:

1. Avoid eating hot, spicy and irritating foods. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine theory, mastitis is caused by heat accumulation in the breast, so patients with breast cysts should not eat foods with dry and hot tastes such as garlic, pepper, Sichuan pepper, and chili peppers, otherwise it will aggravate the condition. Although spicy food caters to the public taste, it is very inappropriate from a health perspective. Almost all Chinese medicines prohibit spicy food, and some Western medicines have similar precautions. Spiciness is a pain sensation, not a taste sensation. In this atmosphere where people love spicy food, don't be too obsessed with your own taste and ignore the warning signals of your body.

2. Avoid eating sweet and greasy foods. Avoid high-fat, high-calorie foods, greasy, fried, and pickled foods. Patients with breast cysts should not eat fatty meat, fried dough sticks, fried twisted dough sticks and other fried pastries. A high-sugar diet can also promote the growth of cysts, so eat less sugar, desserts, and ice cream. Sweets and greasy foods, including fruits, are not recommended for people with breast cysts. Too sweet foods may not sound appealing to many people, but some people prefer sweets, and some people prefer big fish and meat. These people should pay attention to dietary moderation.

3. Avoid smoking and drinking. Women with breast cysts should avoid smoking, drinking, coffee, chocolate and cocoa. Tobacco and alcohol damage the liver, weaken the liver's decomposition function, and make it impossible to eliminate toxins from the body in time. Coffee and chocolate contain xanthine, and excessive consumption increases the incidence of breast cysts. The taboos against smoking and drinking are almost a cliché, but we still can’t abstain from eating what we cannot abstain from. It has to do with personal willpower.
