TCM treatment of breast cysts

Breast cysts can be relieved through traditional Chinese medicine, but you need to go to a regular hospital to cooperate with professional doctors for diagnosis and treatment.

Breast cysts are common in female breasts. Chinese medicine believes that they are often related to liver depression and qi stagnation, phlegm and dampness obstruction, and emotional distress. Cysts manifest as dull breast pain, distension, or discomfort associated with menstrual cycle fluctuations. Chinese medicine emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment, and adjusts the internal environment in a targeted manner to achieve the purpose of improving symptoms.

Depending on the symptoms, Chinese medicine will take the approach of soothing the liver and relieving depression, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and resolving phlegm and softening hard masses. For example, for liver qi stagnation type, Chaihu Shugan San can be used to relieve stress; for phlegm dampness type, Erchen Tang can be used to regulate the spleen and stomach function to remove excess "dampness"; for blood stasis type, Chinese medicine such as Danshen and Panax notoginseng can be used to remove blood stasis and resolve nodules. Acupuncture can also help dredge meridians and improve the flow of qi and blood in the breasts. Commonly selected acupoints include Zusanli, Taichong, and Qimen. Pay attention to lifestyle intervention, such as controlling the intake of high-fat foods in the diet and reducing mood swings, which also have an auxiliary effect.

If the breast cyst is serious or the symptoms worsen, you should go to the hospital's gynecology or breast department immediately and take scientific treatment under the doctor's guidance. Do not take medicine on your own or delay diagnosis. Reducing anxiety, keeping a calm mind, and exercising moderately are beneficial to breast health.
