Patient's question:
I am a 58-year-old woman who feels some discomfort in my body, but I don't know what's wrong. Please ask: For mild breast hyperplasia, what medications are generally used?Doctor's answer:
Breast hyperplasia is related to emotional changes in women. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that emotional suppression, frequent irritability, or a quick-tempered nature can cause liver fire to flare up. The liver meridian also runs through the breasts and the sides of the body, leading to qi stagnation and phlegm accumulation in the breasts. After diagnosing and ruling out other conditions, one can take herbal medicines that soothe the liver and regulate qi, supplemented by massage. At the same time, it is important to adjust one's mindset and emotions, reduce stress, and ensure adequate deep sleep. Avoid stimulating foods such as spicy dishes, alcohol, chocolate, grilled meats, and hormone-containing beverages.
