Is it better to treat breast hyperplasia with Traditional Chinese Medicine or Western Medicine?

Patient's question:

Patient Age: 27
Detailed Medical Condition and Purpose of Consultation: On September 20 of this year, I experienced bilateral breast pain. On the 25th, a check-up revealed fibrocystic changes, and I was prescribed Ping Xiao Pian and Tong Shu Jiao. Initially, the medication showed effectiveness, but the pain returned after one week. I then switched to Ru Pi Xiao Pian, which also worked for 7–10 days before recurring. Currently, I am taking traditional Chinese medicine, but the condition is similar to the previous two instances, and the pain has worsened. Additionally, I have noticed lumps, and I am very concerned about the possibility of cancer.
Duration of Current Illness and Duration of Illness: Since September 20, it has been 3 months.
Medical History: 10 years ago, I suffered from purpura nephritis and was treated with a large amount of corticosteroids.

Doctor's answer:

It's best to have surgery. This type of surgery is less painful, and you can usually return to work after a week of rest. It can completely treat the condition and prevent recurrence. The occurrence of hyperplasia not only affects the patient's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it's best to have a B examination in the gynecology department of the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
