What medicine should be taken to treat breast cysts

The treatment of breast cysts depends on the specific situation. Commonly used drugs include hormone adjustment drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs and Chinese patent medicines. At the same time, dietary conditioning can reduce the possibility of disease progression.

1) Hormone regulating drugs

Breast cysts are often related to an imbalance in estrogen levels in the body, so the use of hormone-adjusting drugs can help restore endocrine balance. For example, Diphylline is a drug commonly used to regulate estrogen levels, but it must be used under the guidance of a doctor. This type of drug can effectively relieve breast pain and reduce the occurrence and development of cysts.

2) Anti-inflammatory drugs

Some breast cysts are accompanied by inflammation, which may cause local redness, swelling, heat and pain. For these symptoms, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen) can be used under the guidance of a doctor to relieve inflammation. If infection occurs, antibacterial drugs such as cephalosporin antibiotics may also be needed.

3) Chinese patent medicine

Some Chinese patent medicines have the effects of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, soothing the liver and relieving depression, such as Xiaoyao Pills and Rupixiao. They are suitable for patients with breast cysts accompanied by irregular menstruation and mood swings. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is usually mild and can be used in combination with other treatments, but attention should be paid to individual differences, and it is recommended to consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.

4) Diet and lifestyle adjustments

While taking medication, adjustments to diet and lifestyle should not be neglected. It is recommended to reduce high-fat, high-calorie diets and consume more fiber-rich foods, such as oats and green vegetables. Supplementing vitamin E (such as nuts and olive oil) in moderation can also help relieve breast pain. Avoid drinking too much coffee, strong tea and other caffeinated drinks to reduce breast irritation.

Although most breast cysts are benign, if you experience severe pain, a rapidly enlarging mass, or abnormal nipple secretions, you should go to the hospital in time. You should strictly follow the doctor's advice when taking medication, and never buy or use it on your own. At the same time, a healthy lifestyle and regular physical examinations can effectively help alleviate the condition and prevent further development.
