Can acupuncture treat breast cysts?

Acupuncture can relieve the discomfort caused by breast cysts to a certain extent, but it cannot directly eliminate the cysts themselves. Breast cysts are usually a benign lesion caused by factors such as hormone level fluctuations, endocrine disorders or breast hyperplasia in the body, and are common breast problems in clinical practice. Acupuncture stimulates acupuncture points, regulates meridian function, and promotes blood circulation, which may help improve local blood supply, relieve breast pain, and reduce anxiety. However, it is difficult to completely eliminate cysts with acupuncture alone, and it usually needs to be combined with clinical medical treatment.

The occurrence of breast cysts is related to many factors, including mood swings, improper diet and endocrine disorders. Acupuncture treatment generally selects relevant acupoints, such as the root of the breast, the middle of the chest, and the Zusanli point, to dredge the meridians and regulate qi and blood. Some patients may experience chest pain due to excessive tension or stress, and acupuncture can effectively relieve pain in a short period of time. At the same time, Chinese medicine believes that the formation of breast problems is closely related to liver qi stagnation and qi and blood disorders. Acupuncture can help relieve liver qi stagnation in auxiliary treatment. However, as a benign lesion, the specific treatment of breast cysts depends on the size, nature and cause of the cyst. If the cyst is large and the pain is severe, a more comprehensive examination and regular treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor, such as endocrine regulating drugs (such as Diane-35 or progesterone drugs commonly used in clinical practice), or surgery to extract the fluid in the cyst to relieve symptoms.

In daily life, patients with breast cysts can help alleviate the condition through a healthy diet and lifestyle. It is recommended to reduce the intake of high-fat and irritating foods and eat more foods rich in vitamins and dietary fiber, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, and whole grains. Moderate exercise such as yoga or brisk walking can help regulate emotions and promote hormone balance. Maintaining a good work and rest schedule and avoiding excessive stress will have a positive effect. Acupuncture as an auxiliary treatment method must be performed by a professional acupuncturist, and do not try it without authorization. If the cyst continues to grow or is accompanied by severe pain, you should seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying treatment.
