Can breast cysts be cured by traditional Chinese medicine?

Breast cysts can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine to relieve symptoms, but in most cases they cannot be cured. The specific effect varies depending on individual differences and the nature of the cyst. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes regulating the whole body, improving endocrine system and unblocking breast meridians to relieve the discomfort associated with breast cysts.

Breast cysts are a common manifestation of breast hyperplasia, mainly related to the imbalance of endocrine hormone levels. Modern medicine usually classifies it as a benign disease, and its causes include genetic factors, long-term mental stress, eating disorders or high-fat diets, and lifestyle disorders. Traditional Chinese medicine theory believes that breast cysts are the result of liver qi stagnation, qi stagnation and blood stasis, and phlegm and dampness accumulation. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment generally focuses on soothing the liver and regulating qi, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and softening and dispersing nodules. Commonly used Chinese medicine prescriptions such as Xiaoyaosan, Guizhi Fuling Pills, Chaihu Shugansan, etc. need to be customized according to the patient's constitution and condition. External treatment of traditional Chinese medicine is also the focus of auxiliary therapy, such as external application of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion and other therapies. The important role of these methods is to improve local blood circulation, dredge meridians, thereby reducing the tenderness and mass of breast cysts, and adjusting the overall health of the body.

In daily care, in order to prevent the aggravation of breast cysts, the effect can be consolidated by improving lifestyle and combining auxiliary adjustment therapy. For example, increase foods rich in vitamin E, vitamin C and dietary fiber. It is recommended to eat broccoli, carrots and oats; maintain a regular schedule, control weight, and avoid staying up late; through appropriate exercise such as yoga or Tai Chi, help relieve stress and soothe the meridians. Patients with high psychological pressure can cooperate with relaxation exercises such as meditation or deep breathing training. If the cyst is significantly enlarged, the pain is aggravated, or there are symptoms such as nipple discharge and skin depression, you should go to the hospital in time for breast color ultrasound or breast mammography examination, and cooperate with Western medicine drugs or surgical treatment when necessary. Traditional Chinese medicine can be used as an important means of recovery and late-stage conditioning after Western medicine intervention, and fully combine the advantages of Chinese and Western medicine to improve the treatment effect.
