Can breast hyperplasia be treated with hot compresses?

Breast hyperplasia is mainly caused by mastitis and nodule hyperplasia caused by breast blockage. Patients are expected to pay attention to the treatment methods of breast hyperplasia in their lives. For cases of breast hyperplasia, you can massage the breasts to return excess body fluids to the lymphatic system, squeeze the breasts to eliminate nodules, or use hot compresses to relieve blood clots blocking the breasts and speed up blood circulation.

What is the correct method of hot compress for female breast hyperplasia?

Hot compress: Hot compress is a traditional Chinese medicine treatment that can relieve breast pain by using hot compress bags or taking a hot bath. If you use alternating cold and hot compresses, the effect of eliminating breast discomfort will be better. If conditions permit, you can also apply castor oil to your chest. Castor oil contains a substance that can enhance the function of lymphocytes. This type of lymphocyte can accelerate the recovery of various infections and eliminate pain.

The method is: drop castor oil on cotton cloth folded into four layers, let it be soaked with castor oil, but not too wet to avoid dripping everywhere. Apply the cloth to your breasts, cover with a layer of plastic wrap, and then place a hot compress bag on top. Adjust the heat pack to a temperature you can tolerate and leave it on for an hour.

Massage your breasts frequently: Gently massaging your breasts can return excess body fluids to the lymphatic system. When massaging, first apply soapy liquid on the breast, and rotate your fingers along the surface of the breast to draw a circle about the size of a coin. Then use your hands to press the breasts in and bounce them up, which is very helpful in preventing breast discomfort.

How to massage breast hyperplasia?

(1) Pushing and stroking method: The patient sits or lies on his side to fully expose his chest. First, sprinkle some talcum powder or apply a little paraffin oil on the affected breast, and then use the palms of both hands to gently push and stroke along the breast along the milk duct toward the nipple 50 to 100 times.

(2) Massage: Use the hypothenar or thenar eminence of the palm to apply pressure to the affected area, and gently massage the red, swollen and painful areas. If there are lumps, massage them repeatedly several times until the lumps become soft.

(3) Kneading, pinching and holding method: Use the five fingers of your right hand to grab the breast on the affected side and apply kneading techniques, grabbing and releasing, and repeat the technique 10 to 15 times. Use your left hand to gently pull the nipple several times to expand the milk ducts in the nipple.

(4) Oscillation method: Use the hypothenar eminence of the right hand to push and oscillate at high speed from the swelling of the breast along the base of the breast toward the nipple, repeat 3 to 5 times. The effect is better when a slight warm sensation appears locally.
