What to do if you have breast pain

We know that breasts play a very important role for female friends. If there is a problem with female friends' breasts, it will not only cause pain to female friends but also easily bring great psychological pressure to female friends. Therefore, we recommend that female friends take good care of their breasts in daily life. Some female friends may experience a tingling sensation in their breasts. Below we will introduce what to do if there is a tingling sensation in the breasts.

Fibrocystic breast disease is a type of breast hyperplasia that refers to the proliferation of mammary epithelial and fibrous tissue, the structural degeneration of mammary ducts and lobules, and the progressive growth of connective tissue. The main cause of the disease is endocrine hormone imbalance. Fibrocystic breast disease is the most common breast disease in women, and its incidence ranks first among breast diseases. In recent years, the incidence of this disease has been increasing year by year, and the age of patients has been getting younger and younger. According to surveys, about 70% to 80% of women have varying degrees of breast hyperplasia, which is more common in women aged 25 to 45.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the cause of this disease is mostly related to organ dysfunction and disharmony of qi and blood. The liver and spleen are the organs that are affected, especially those with weak spleen or those who eat too much spicy, fatty and sweet food, which damages the spleen and causes dysfunction of spleen and soil transportation and transformation, and accumulation of dampness into phlegm. People who are born introverted, depressed, and prone to sulking or impatient, easily angered, or hurt by the seven emotions, excessive worry, which causes the liver to lose its ability to vent, depression turns into phlegm, etc., can all lead to the accumulation of phlegm and dampness, stagnation of qi and blood, and the formation of tumors.

1. Soothe the liver and regulate Qi, and regulate Qi flow.

The nipples and breasts are where the liver meridian runs. Women's innate liver is responsible for storing blood and regulating discharge. The liver is yin in nature but uses yang, making it easy for them to become depressed. People with breast lumps often have depressed temperament, excessive worries, or irritability, chest tightness and belching. Breast pain and changes in the size of the lump are also often related to emotional changes. Liver depression and qi stagnation have an important influence on the pathogenesis of breast problems. When the seven emotions are not smooth, the liver loses its smooth function, and liver depression and qi stagnation accumulate in the intestinal network, causing pain and lumps. Therefore, soothing the liver and regulating qi, and regulating qi are the main principles for treating breast lumps.

2. Promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and dredge milk meridians.

Breast pain and lumps are the main symptoms, both of which are characteristic manifestations of blood stasis syndrome. Worry, anger, depression and unhappiness will inevitably lead to poor liver qi and stagnation of qi, which will last for a long time and spread to the inside, causing blood circulation to be blocked and menstruation to be blocked, unable to fill the uterus and unable to overflow into the breasts. The milk meridians are blocked, qi stagnates and blood stagnates, forming lumps, which will cause pain. Before menstruation, the Chong and Ren meridians are filled with blood, causing breast swelling and pain to worsen. After menstruation, the Qi and blood are released, and the swelling and pain are relieved. It can be seen that it is inevitable for people with breast problems to develop blood stasis. During treatment, we must pay attention to promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, as well as unblocking the milk collaterals.

3. Resolve phlegm, soften hard masses, reduce swelling and disperse lumps.

Worrying too much can damage the spleen or cause liver depression and qi stagnation, which can go against the spleen and earth, and can cause the spleen to lose its healthy function, internal generation of phlegm and dampness, insufficient kidney qi, and malnutrition of the Chong and Ren meridians. If the spleen yang cannot be warmed, semen cannot be transported and transformed, and moisture accumulates to form phlegm. Liver depression lasts for a long time, turning into heat and fire, burning body fluid into phlegm. Phlegm, Qi, and blood stasis combine to form breast lumps. Therefore, phlegm congestion has a certain influence on the pathogenesis of breast diseases. Resolving phlegm, softening hard masses, reducing swelling and dispersing nodules can help the swelling and pain disappear without a trace.
