Can breast cysts be cured with Chinese medicine?

Breast cysts can be treated with Chinese medicine to relieve symptoms, but complete cure depends on the specific situation. Breast cysts are fluid cysts formed by the expansion of breast ducts. Chinese medicine conditioning can improve endocrine and promote blood circulation, but in severe cases, other treatment methods must be used.

1. The principle of Chinese medicine in treating breast cysts is to regulate endocrine and improve the circulation of qi and blood. Commonly used Chinese medicines include bupleurum, angelica, white peony root, etc. These medicines have the effects of soothing the liver and regulating qi, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and help relieve breast pain and cysts. Chinese medicine conditioning usually requires long-term persistence and is suitable for patients with mild cysts.

2. For patients with larger cysts or obvious symptoms, it is recommended to combine Western medicine treatment. Western medicine treatment includes ultrasound-guided puncture and fluid extraction, hormone therapy, etc. Puncture and fluid extraction can quickly reduce cyst pressure, and hormone therapy can inhibit cyst growth by regulating estrogen levels. Combining Chinese and Western medicine treatment can improve the efficacy.

3. Diet is also important in the treatment of breast cysts. It is recommended to eat more fiber-rich foods, such as vegetables, fruits and whole grains, and reduce the intake of high-fat and high-sugar foods. Avoid consuming too much caffeine and alcohol, which may irritate breast tissue and aggravate symptoms.

4. Psychological adjustment is also key. The occurrence of breast cysts is closely related to mood swings. Long-term stress and depression may aggravate the condition. Relieving stress through meditation, yoga, etc. and keeping a good mood can help improve symptoms.

The treatment of breast cysts needs to choose the appropriate method according to the specific situation. Chinese medicine conditioning can be used as an auxiliary means, but in severe cases, it needs to be combined with Western medicine treatment. Through comprehensive conditioning, most patients can effectively relieve symptoms and improve their quality of life.
