What are the traditional Chinese medicine treatments for breast cysts?

Most breast cysts are benign, but malignant lesions must be ruled out first. It is recommended to see a doctor for a clear diagnosis.

Breast cysts are common breast diseases in women, usually caused by endocrine disorders, mood swings or improper diet. Traditional Chinese medicine classifies them as "breast disease" or "depression". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that breast cysts are closely related to liver depression, phlegm and dampness, qi stagnation and other factors, so it emphasizes regulating qi and blood, soothing the liver and relieving depression, and resolving phlegm and softening hard masses to relieve symptoms.

For patients with liver depression and qi stagnation, Chinese medicine often uses methods to soothe the liver and regulate qi, such as Chaihu Shugan San, which is often combined with Chinese medicinal materials such as Poria cocos, white peony root, and Cyperus rotundus. If phlegm and dampness are found to be blocked, Erchen Decoction can be used with Chinese medicinal materials such as Poria cocos and Pinellia tuber to strengthen the spleen and resolve phlegm. At the same time, when massaging acupoints, attention can be paid to acupoints such as Neiguan and Rugen, and combined with Chinese medicine massage or scraping, which can help promote the circulation of qi and blood in the breast and relieve symptoms. In terms of dietary conditioning, it is recommended to reduce raw, cold, and greasy foods, and eat more foods rich in vitamins, such as green leafy vegetables and fruits.

The traditional Chinese medicine treatment of breast cysts must be carried out under the guidance of professionals. Do not buy medicine on your own. If you find that the cyst is rapidly increasing or accompanied by pain, fever, etc., you should go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination in time to avoid delaying the condition.
