Patient's question:
Doctor, I have a question I'd like to consult you about. Recently, I've noticed a small lump on the upper part of my right breast. It becomes very painful during my menstrual period. After a thorough examination at the hospital, they said it's a case of breast hyperplasia. What medications are available for treating breast hyperplasia? Could you recommend one or two that are quite effective?Doctor's answer:
Hyperplasia of the breast is a disease related to endocrine hormone imbalance, primarily characterized by relatively high estrogen levels. If there is no obvious lump, it is generally advisable to use blood-activating and blood-stasis-dispersing medications for regulation, such as Xiaoyao Pill, Ru Pi Xiao, and Ru Kang Ning. These medications help in maintaining balance. It is recommended to eat more vegetables and fewer meats, avoid excessive intake of health supplements, soy products, soy milk, and soybean milk, and undergo regular follow-up examinations.
