Patient's question:
Each month, in the first 10-15 days of the cycle, I experience breast tenderness and pain, making it impossible to work normally. I have had scans before, and there were no lumps found. During my period, the abdominal pain is unbearable. My child is already 10 years old, but the symptoms have not changed. I am living a very painful life, with only 10 comfortable days each month. Experts, how can I relieve this suffering?? Thank you! Email: xbxfr0410@163.comDoctor's answer:
Hello, many women experience breast tenderness and fullness before menstruation. Mild symptoms include breast fullness, hardness, and tenderness; severe symptoms involve unbearable pain even from slight pressure or vibration, with the original granular or nodular sensation becoming more pronounced. This is due to the increase in estrogen levels before menstruation, leading to breast hyperplasia and edema in the breast interstitial tissue. Traditional Chinese Medicine attributes it to liver qi stagnation and kidney yin deficiency, offering unique treatment methods.Common methods:
Bupleurum 6g, Polygonum 12g, Citrus Peel 10g, Fried Cyperus 10g, Fagara 10g, Fructus Toosendan 10g, Salvia Miltiorrhiza 10g, Ligusticum 6g, Carthamus 6g, Panax Notoginseng Powder 2g (dissolved).
Decoction: Take the herbal mixture in water, starting 7 days before menstruation, with one dose per day for three menstrual cycles.
