1: Maintain a healthy mentality: Breast fibroids are greatly affected by emotions. If you are in a good mood, the normal ovulation of the ovaries will not be hindered by bad emotions, the secretion of progesterone will not decrease, and the breast will not proliferate due to unilateral stimulation of estrogen. The already proliferated breast will gradually recover under the care of progesterone.

Sleep should be regular: Regular sleep is not only beneficial to endocrine balance, but also provides a good environment for various hormones in the body to exert their healthy effects in a balanced manner. There is strength in unity, and the synergistic cooperation of various hormones can naturally defeat breast fibroids.

Low-fat, high-fiber diet: Follow the "low-fat, high-fiber" diet principle, eat more whole-grain foods, beans and vegetables, increase the body's metabolic pathways, and reduce adverse stimulation to the breast. Also, control the intake of animal protein to avoid excessive estrogen and the resulting breast fibroids.

Vitamins and minerals: If the human body lacks B vitamins, vitamin C, or minerals such as calcium and magnesium, the synthesis of prostaglandin E will be affected, and breast cancer will appear or worsen under the excessive stimulation of other hormones.

Pay attention to dietary taboos, do not eat raw, cold, greasy, fishy and irritating food; stop taking the medicine during menstruation; stop taking the medicine when suffering from infectious diseases such as colds. If after taking Chinese medicine for a period of time, the adenoma not only does not shrink but continues to grow, and the growth is relatively rapid, it is advisable to stop the Chinese medicine treatment and perform surgery in time.
