Patient's question:
I carefully checked out that I have breast hyperplasia. My mom told me to drink dandelion tea. Can dandelion cure breast hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Drinking dandelion tea has no therapeutic effect on fibrocystic breast changes. Fibrocystic breast changes involve benign fibrosis of breast tissue and are not infectious diseases. Dandelion has the functions of clearing heat and detoxifying, which can be beneficial for treating infectious breast diseases such as acute mastitis. Therefore, it is not recommended to use this method to treat fibrocystic breast changes. The focus should be on dietary adjustments and psychological reorientation for fibrocystic breast changes. Medications should only be considered for symptomatic treatment if the symptoms are severe.
