How does Traditional Chinese Medicine treat breast cysts?

If the symptoms of breast cysts are obvious or suspected to be worsening, you need to see a doctor as soon as possible to determine the treatment plan through examination. Traditional Chinese medicine usually focuses on soothing the liver and regulating qi, resolving phlegm and dispersing nodules, combined with overall conditioning of the body's internal environment to intervene in breast cysts.

According to TCM theory, breast cysts are often associated with liver qi stagnation and phlegm and dampness obstruction. In layman's terms, long-term emotional tension and stress can easily hinder the smooth flow of qi and blood; irregular diet and work and rest may lead to the accumulation of dampness and phlegm in the body, aggravating breast health problems. It is precisely because of these "internal and external mixed" reasons that TCM adopts an internal and external treatment method, such as prescribing Chinese herbal decoctions, acupuncture treatment and dietary adjustments to relieve symptoms from the root.

The conditioning methods are mainly divided into several aspects. For example, commonly used Chinese medicines include Bupleurum, Angelica, and Tangerine Peel, which are used to dredge the liver meridian and improve the circulation of Qi. Acupuncture further regulates the circulation of Qi and blood by stimulating specific acupuncture points on the body, such as Rugen and Tanzhong. Chinese medicine also attaches great importance to the intervention of daily life - avoid spicy, dry and greasy food in diet, eat more light and easily digestible food, keep a cheerful mood in mood, and pay attention to proper exercise to relieve stress.

If the breast cyst is painful, rapidly enlarged, or has fluid accumulation or other abnormalities, you should go to a regular hospital for a breast ultrasound or puncture to determine the nature of the cyst. In daily conditioning, you should avoid sitting for long periods of time, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and high-quality protein-rich ingredients such as beans and fish, and maintain a regular work and rest schedule to reduce staying up late.
