Can breast cysts be eliminated by traditional Chinese medicine?

Breast cysts can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine to relieve symptoms to a certain extent, and even help shrink the cysts, but complete elimination requires a comprehensive assessment of the severity of the disease, individual constitution, and treatment methods. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment mainly emphasizes regulating qi and blood, soothing the liver and regulating qi, and starting with overall regulation of the patient's endocrine function.

Breast cysts are a common benign breast lesion, and their formation may be related to a variety of factors. In terms of genetics, family history may increase the probability of disease; environmental factors such as long-term stress, irregular work and rest, and high-fat and high-sugar diet are important inducements; endocrine imbalances (such as excessive estrogen or too little progesterone) are usually the core problem. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that breast diseases are mostly related to liver qi stagnation and "depressed mood", and qi stagnation, blood stasis, and phlegm and dampness obstruction are the main mechanisms of the disease. Specific manifestations include breast pain, soft nodules, and premenstrual aggravation. In severe cases, it may even turn into chronic inflammation or affect the quality of life.

The methods of traditional Chinese medicine for treating breast cysts mainly include the following: First, oral administration of Chinese medicine, commonly used Xiaoyaosan, Chaihu Shugan Decoction and Erchen Decoction, etc., add or subtract to achieve the effects of soothing the liver and relieving depression, clearing away heat and resolving phlegm. Second, acupuncture therapy, taking Tianzong, Rugen and other acupoints to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, has a significant effect on qi stagnation and blood stasis. Third, external application therapy, such as using Chinese herbal medicine to make a plaster and apply it locally to promote absorption, which helps to reduce the size of the nodule. In terms of diet, it is recommended to eat light, low-fat, fiber-rich foods, such as radish, yam, red dates, etc., and eat less spicy and high-calorie foods; participating in more soothing exercises such as yoga and tai chi can also assist in treatment.

When breast cysts are accompanied by obvious pain or rapid growth, you should go to the hospital for B-ultrasound examination as soon as possible to rule out the possibility of malignancy, and use surgical resection or minimally invasive ablation treatment if necessary. A healthy lifestyle, good emotional management, and standardized Chinese medicine treatment combined with Western medicine diagnosis can help patients improve breast health and reduce the risk of recurrence. If you are troubled by breast cysts, please stay positive and optimistic. I believe that through scientific treatment and lifestyle conditioning, your body will definitely return to a balanced state.
