What to do if breast glands are thickened? These methods can alleviate

The reason why women experience thickening of the mammary glands is most likely due to endocrine disorders, especially when the secretion of progesterone in the body decreases, the level of estrogen will relatively increase, which can easily lead to thickening of the mammary glands. The patient's breasts may become enlarged or even cysts may occur. So what are some ways to alleviate this?

First, mitigation methods

Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment of breast hyperplasia: The treatment of breast hyperplasia should be based on Fuzi Lizhong Decoction. For severe patients, Sini Decoction or Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Decoction can be taken first. Strengthening the positive Qi in the middle burner can restrain the evil Qi in the liver. The method of the five elements of wood and earth is adopted. When the earth is built, the liver Qi will also be relieved, and the evil fire will go away. The accompanying symptoms will also disappear along with the main symptoms.

Acupoint stimulation and acupuncture: Using the meridian theory, timely and appropriate selection of acupoint stimulation or acupuncture and bloodletting according to the direction of the breast meridians can quickly relieve pain and relieve redness, swelling and heat. This method is safe and has no side effects. It is suitable for patients with severe pain and acute onset of the disease.

The method of nourishing and regulating the spirit, qi and heart: According to the dialectical theory of experts from Good Chinese Medicine Online, breast diseases increase and decrease with emotions, especially for some patients who have poor self-regulation. This method can make people feel at ease, refreshed and stable, and promote the functioning of the liver and spleen. It is a good psychological therapy.

Traditional Chinese medicine's syndrome differentiation method for specific patients and specific diseases: utilizing the four diagnostic methods of TCM, namely, looking, listening, asking and palpating, we have introduced the five-in-one integrated therapy, which is the latest generation of special, purely original and natural five-in-one integrated method for reducing swelling and dissolving tumors for the treatment of breast hyperplasia and breast fibroids. Breast disease has complex and diverse pathologies and different conditions. Each patient and each condition should be treated with a single medicine and single prescription. The principle is to prescribe the right medicine for the right symptoms, formulate the right prescription for the right disease, and adjust the medicine for the right person, so that the patient can achieve the goal of taking the medicine effectively and recovering from the treatment.

Second, palpation:

1. Breast examination

Sit naturally (if you have enlarged breasts, you can lie down) with your arms hanging down. Use the palm of your fingers to examine the breasts in sequence, fully examining the upper outer quadrant (both nipples form a cross, the upper right on the right side or the upper left on the left side is the upper outer quadrant), lower outer quadrant, lower inner quadrant, upper inner quadrant, and the central area. Use your hands to press continuously without missing any. Be careful not to pinch the breast tissue with your fingers to avoid mistaking it for a lump. Finally, squeeze the nipple gently. If there is discharge, squeeze the areola around it in turn and record which side the discharge comes from.

If a lump is found, you should pay attention to the size, hardness, smoothness of the surface skin, clear boundaries and mobility (good mobility if it is not easy to press down; moderate mobility; and poor mobility if there is no obvious movement). Check whether the lump is adhered to the skin. Gently pinch the skin on the surface of the lump to make sure the lump is not in the pinched skin. If there is adhesion but no inflammation, you should be alert to malignant tumors. Benign tumors have clear boundaries and high mobility. Malignant tumors have unclear boundaries, hard texture, rough appearance, low mobility, and are adhered to surrounding tissues.

(ii) Axillary lymph node examination

Stretch one upper limb slightly upward, bend the elbow, and reach the other hand into the opposite armpit. Press the palm of your fingers against the chest wall to feel and press the entire armpit to ensure there are no nodules. If the above tests are suspicious, go to the hospital for a final check-up. Ask your doctor to check you and, if necessary, do an ultrasound or mammogram. If the diagnosis is still uncertain, fine needle aspiration cytology can be performed.

Third, visual examination:

Paying attention to whether the shape and size of both breasts are symmetrical can indicate congenital development.

The presence or absence of localized bulges or depressions may indicate the presence of a breast mass. Such as orange peel-like changes, nipple depression, and local protrusion and raised changes.

Are the nipples on both sides at the same level? If there is a tumor above the nipple, the nipple can be pulled upwards.
