Small needle knife treatment of breast fibroids

Acupuncture can be used as a treatment for breast fibroids. Its main function is to relieve the adhesion of local fibrous tissue, increase blood circulation and improve symptoms. It may be effective for some patients. However, not all breast fibroids are suitable for this treatment. The specific treatment method should be determined by the size, location and growth of the fibroids and should be determined by a professional doctor after evaluation.

1) Causes and symptoms of breast fibroids

Breast fibroids are a common benign tumor that usually presents as breast lumps without obvious pain. Their formation may be related to fluctuations in hormone levels. For example, during puberty, menstrual cycle or pregnancy, increased hormone secretion may induce abnormal proliferation of fibrous tissue. Genetic background is another important factor. People with similar cases in the family are more likely to get the disease. Environmental or lifestyle factors, such as long-term stress, smoking or unhealthy diet, may also be triggers for breast fibroids.

2) Mechanism and indications of micro-acupuncture for the treatment of breast fibroids

Acupuncture knife is a treatment method that combines acupuncture and minimally invasive surgical techniques. It stimulates local tissues to release adhesions and dredge qi and blood. For patients with breast fibroids, acupuncture knife can relieve symptoms to a certain extent, especially for those with more adhesions around breast fibroids, which helps to improve the local microcirculation and tissue environment of the breast. This method is suitable for patients with small fibroids that grow slowly and have no obvious malignant changes. However, acupuncture knife is only an auxiliary treatment and cannot directly act on the tumor, nor can it completely replace other medical methods.

3) Other treatment options

In addition to acupuncture, the treatment of breast fibroids also includes the following main methods:

① Observation and follow-up: For small tumors that grow slowly or have no obvious symptoms, regular ultrasound or breast mammography to monitor tumor changes is a common choice, with follow-up every 3 to 6 months.

②Surgical resection: For cases where the tumor is large (usually > 2 cm), suspected to be malignant or has an unsightly effect, breast tumor resection is more appropriate. The patient usually recovers well after surgery, but breast health needs to be checked regularly.

③Drug treatment: In patients with large fluctuations in hormone levels, hormone-adjusting drugs such as tamoxifen or regulated hormone therapy can be used under the guidance of a professional doctor to reduce the impact of estrogen in the body.

4) Daily care and preventive measures

Patients with breast fibroids can alleviate symptoms through a reasonable diet in their daily lives, such as eating more foods rich in vitamins C and E, such as oranges, carrots, nuts, etc., reducing the intake of foods high in fat and sugar, and avoiding irritating foods such as coffee, alcohol, etc. Regular work and rest and moderate exercise not only help maintain hormone balance, but also help enhance the body's immune function, thereby preventing tumor growth to a certain extent.

Acupuncture provides a potentially effective option for the treatment of breast fibroids, but it is not a universal solution. The treatment of breast fibroids requires a personalized plan based on the patient's actual situation and is implemented under professional medical supervision. If a breast lump is found, you should seek medical attention in a timely manner, and choose the appropriate treatment method after a clear diagnosis to ensure your health.
