What should I do if I have a nodule on my right breast? Five Chinese medicine treatments for breast nodules

Simply put, right breast nodule refers to the appearance of nodules, or lumps, in the right breast. If it is not treated actively, it will cause great pain to female patients and may even worsen, further affecting women's breast health. There are many treatments for breast nodules, and traditional Chinese medicine is one of them. In the process of traditional Chinese medicine treatment, the main focus is on dredging. Below I will introduce to you the traditional Chinese medicine treatment of breast nodules.

1. TCM's external treatment for internal diseases

(1)

Soothe the liver and regulate Qi, and regulate Qi flow. Liver depression and qi stagnation have an important influence on the pathogenesis of breast diseases. When the seven emotions are not smooth, the liver loses its smooth function, and liver depression and qi stagnation accumulate in the intestinal network, causing pain and lumps. Therefore, soothing the liver and regulating qi, and regulating qi are the main principles for treating breast lumps.

(2) Promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and dredge the milk meridians. Breast pain and lumps are the main symptoms, both of which are characteristic manifestations of blood stasis syndrome. Before menstruation, the Chong and Ren meridians are filled with blood, causing breast swelling and pain to worsen. After menstruation, the Qi and blood are released, and the swelling and pain are relieved. During treatment, we must pay attention to the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and unblocking milk meridians.

(3) It can resolve phlegm, soften hard masses, reduce swelling and disperse lumps. Therefore, phlegm congestion has a certain influence on the pathogenesis of breast diseases. Resolving phlegm, softening hard masses, reducing swelling and dispersing nodules can help the swelling and pain disappear without a trace.

2. Gua Sha Therapy

Use scraping to wipe the corresponding area of ​​the back breast (that is, the area on the back corresponding to the breast on the chest). First apply scraping oil, and then scrape from top to bottom and from inside to outside in turn. Nodules, sand particles, and cord-like objects found under the scraper should be scraped away with special care. The areas on the chest corresponding to these parts are the areas where breast hyperplasia occurs. Scraping the spine, the bladder meridians on both sides, and the parallel Jiaji points can consolidate the effects of the treatment. The more thoroughly the sha is removed during the scraping process, the more thoroughly the breast hyperplasia will disappear. You can also scrape the Tanzhong area from top to bottom and from inside to outside.

3. Acupuncture treatment

(1) Body acupuncture: Select acupoints such as Wuyi, Tanzhong, Hegu, Tianzong, Jianjing, and Ganshu, and leave the needles in for 20-30 minutes.

(2) Ear acupuncture: acupoints such as breast, Shenmen, and endocrine.

4. Cupping therapy

The principle is similar to scraping. Blood pricking and cupping, take 75% alcohol for local or acupoint disinfection, at Tanzhong, locally, patients with breast hyperplasia are treated with traditional Chinese medicine and meridian cupping therapy, and the changes in female hormone levels and clinical symptoms and signs such as breast pain and breast lumps before and after treatment are observed and compared.

First, sprinkle some talcum powder or apply a little paraffin oil on the affected breast, and then use the palms of both hands to gently push and stroke along the breast along the milk duct toward the nipple 50 to 100 times.

(2) Massage: Use the hypothenar or thenar eminence of the palm to apply pressure to the affected area, and gently massage the red, swollen and painful areas. If there are lumps, massage them repeatedly several times until the lumps become soft.
