What is the Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment for breast cysts?

I believe that women usually have a certain understanding of breast diseases such as breast cysts. They know that there are various clinical treatment methods and each method has unique therapeutic effects, but they may not be very clear about the specific principles of medication. Today, I would like to introduce the traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions for this disease. Interested patients can take a look at them in detail.

At this point, the editor has basically finished explaining the traditional Chinese medicine treatment of breast cysts. Generally speaking, during treatment, we must choose the corresponding Chinese medicinal materials based on these two classifications. In addition, the editor would like to make one point that treatment with traditional Chinese medicine may take a relatively long time, so once you use it, you must persist.
