Patient's question:
Last week, while taking a bath, I accidentally discovered a hard lump in my left breast. When pressed lightly with my hand, it caused some pain, but I barely noticed it otherwise. Later, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor diagnosed it as fibrocystic breast changes. Hello, can I take Ping Xiao capsules for fibrocystic breast changes?Doctor's answer:
For patients with breast hyperplasia, it is not recommended to take Ping Xiao capsules orally. This medication is a traditional Chinese medicine with the effects of invigorating blood circulation, resolving blood stasis, and reducing swelling and pain. It is commonly used for tumor patients. Breast hyperplasia is often caused by liver qi stagnation in the chest. It is recommended that you take Xiao Yao San to regulate the liver and relieve qi stagnation, while also relaxing your mood, getting adequate rest, and maintaining a light diet. Regulating physical and mental health, maintaining personal hygiene, and avoiding bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity are also important.
