Patient's question:
Lately, I've been feeling that my breasts are swollen, and there's nothing else wrong. I've always thought it was just because my period was coming, but this time, even though my period has passed several days ago, it's still swollen. Later, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor told me it's breast hyperplasia. I feel like I need to take some medicine to regulate it. It's said that traditional Chinese medicine works well. I'd like to ask, what traditional Chinese medicine is good for breast hyperplasia?Doctor's answer:
Women with breast hyperplasia can take Ruxiuling Granules, which is composed of herbs such as Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri), Xiangfu (Rhizoma Cyperi), Qingpi (Pericarpium Citri Aurantii), Chishao (Radix Paeoniae Rubra), Milu (Concha Ostreae), and Haidao (Sargassum). It can relieve liver qi stagnation, regulate mood, and reduce nodules and swelling. It is primarily used to treat breast lumps and irregular menstruation. Alternatively, Xiaoyao Granules, composed of Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri), Fu Ling (Poria), Bai Zhu (Atractylodes Rhizoma), Bai Shao (Radix Paeoniae Alba), and Fu Ling (Poria), can nourish blood and regulate menstruation, treating breast fullness.All of the above traditional Chinese medicines require careful observation of the condition by a TCM practitioner, prescription based on symptoms, adjustment of dosage, and modification of the herbal combination before oral administration.
