Can acupuncture be used to treat breast nodules?

Acupuncture can be used to relieve pain caused by breast nodules or inflammation of surrounding tissues, but it cannot directly eliminate breast nodules, nor can it solve the root cause. Breast nodules are mainly caused by breast hyperplasia, fibroids or cysts, and their treatment should be determined according to the specific cause. Acupuncture can only be used as an auxiliary treatment method.

The causes of breast nodules include endocrine disorders, mood swings, irregular diet, etc., which are mainly manifested as local lumps, pain or tenderness in the breast. Micro-acupuncture therapy can improve pain and discomfort by regulating local blood circulation and loosening soft tissue adhesions, but in the face of the substantial nature of breast nodules, such as cysts, fibrous nodules or proliferative lesions, micro-acupuncture cannot directly solve the problem. If the breast nodules have no risk of malignant transformation and the symptoms are mild, lifestyle adjustments and drug treatment can be used; if the nodules are large or there is a risk of malignant transformation, further examination and targeted treatment are recommended, such as minimally invasive surgery or hormone regulation therapy.

In daily life, adjusting the diet structure (such as reducing high-fat diets, choosing foods rich in vitamin E and dietary fiber), maintaining a regular schedule, and avoiding stress are the keys to preventing the development of breast nodules. If the symptoms of breast nodules are obvious, you should see a doctor as soon as possible, have a professional doctor assess the cause and condition, and choose a suitable treatment plan in combination with imaging examinations and pathological analysis to avoid delaying the condition or causing unnecessary treatment risks.
