Will taking Chinese medicine change breast cysts?

Taking Chinese medicine for breast cysts may have a certain positive effect on symptom relief and physical conditioning, but whether the cysts can be completely eliminated or cured requires specific analysis based on the severity of the disease, the type of cysts, and personal constitution. Breast cysts are a common benign breast disease, and their treatment methods include drug therapy, regular observation, lifestyle conditioning, etc. Multiple measures may need to be implemented in combination. When using Chinese medicine, it is also necessary to be carried out under the guidance of a professional doctor to avoid blind medication. The following are treatment methods and conditioning suggestions for breast cysts.

1. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that breast cysts are related to liver depression and qi stagnation, spleen deficiency and phlegm dampness. Drinking Chinese medicine for conditioning may relieve symptoms by soothing the liver and relieving depression, and resolving phlegm and dispersing nodules.

Common Chinese medicine prescriptions: Xiaoyao Pills can help soothe the liver and regulate qi, Erchen Decoction is suitable for phlegm-damp constitution, and Chaihu Shugan Powder can relieve liver depression and qi stagnation. Please use the medicine that suits you under the guidance of a doctor.

Chinese herbal medicine diet therapy: If you combine it with other herbs such as Bupleurum, White Peony Root, Curcuma, Oyster and other herbs to make a decoction for drinking, it may have an auxiliary conditioning effect, but it must be taken according to the doctor's instructions and should not be taken at your own discretion.

Traditional Chinese medicine takes a long time to take effect, and usually requires persistent use for a period of time before significant changes are seen. In particular, the therapeutic effect for stubborn cysts may be limited.

2. Regular observation and Western medicine-assisted treatment

If the breast cyst is confirmed to be benign and the symptoms are not obvious, it can be observed on a regular basis. However, if the cyst is large, painful, or growing rapidly, the doctor may recommend medication or surgery.

Topical medications: Some special ointments for breast diseases, such as Ru An Tie, may relieve local discomfort.

Oral medication: For patients with obvious symptoms of cysts, doctors may use hormonal drugs to adjust endocrine, such as danazol, which can relieve pain and inhibit cyst growth, but the side effects need to be weighed.

Regular observation and imaging follow-up (such as breast B-ultrasound) are very important to understand changes in the condition.

3. Diet and lifestyle adjustments

Good living habits and diet play a positive role in the prevention and improvement of breast cysts.

Reducing high-fat and high-sugar diet and eating more foods rich in vitamin E and dietary fiber, such as nuts, whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, can help restore breast health.

Regular work and rest schedule: Avoid staying up late and long-term stress, maintain a regular work and rest schedule, release psychological pressure, and regulate endocrine balance.

Exercise promotes metabolism: Appropriate aerobic exercise, such as walking, yoga and jogging, can promote lymphatic circulation and reduce the chance of abnormal breast gland hyperplasia.

4. Necessity of surgical intervention

If the cyst is large or has a tendency to be malignant, the doctor may recommend surgery. Common surgical methods include:

Puncture and fluid extraction: The cyst fluid is drawn out through fine needle puncture, which is effective for simple fluid cysts.

Gland resection: For complex cysts or recurrent cysts, the cyst and some surrounding tissues can be removed.

Minimally invasive surgery: such as radiofrequency ablation, which causes less trauma and quick recovery.

Ensure that breast cysts are fully evaluated and diagnosed by a doctor, and choose the most appropriate treatment plan based on the size and pathological nature of the cyst.
