Patient's question:
My mother's friend went for a thorough medical check-up last week and was told by the doctor that she had breast hyperplasia. As far as I know, this aunt pays great attention to medicinal diet and also enjoys exercising. She doesn't have any bad habits either. I don't know what could have caused it. Could you please tell me what are the causes of breast hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Generally, in traditional Chinese medicine, breast hyperplasia is often considered to be caused by recent emotional distress leading to some liver qi stagnation. Western medicine considers it to be triggered by some endocrine disorders, which may result in symptoms such as breast tenderness and pain. It is recommended to undergo specialized medical examination at the hospital for a definitive diagnosis.During daily life, many herbal remedies for regulating qi and relieving pain can be taken orally, but specific medication should strictly follow the doctor's advice. Additionally, it is important to maintain a regular daily routine.
Furthermore, patients should avoid overly spicy foods and foods that are considered "heating" in traditional Chinese medicine.
