Patient's question:
I am 29 years old, married, and have no children. Recently, I have been experiencing breast hyperplasia. The doctor prescribed Xiaoyao Pill and Ruhexiejie Pill for me. I have been taking them for three months now, but the effect is still not obvious. Should I continue taking them, or should I try switching to other medications? Thank you!!!Doctor's answer:
Hello: Treatment of Breast Hyperplasia:Most domestic treatments use Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and herbal medicine, while foreign treatments often employ hormone preparations, vitamins, and surgery when necessary.
Examples of Chinese herbal medicines include: Xiaoyao Pill, Xiangfu Pill, Bazhen Yimu Pill, Xiaojin Tablet, Ruzhengning Tablet, and Tianzhen Tablet.
Examples of Western medicines include:
1. Hormonal drugs, commonly used ones include: Tamoxifen and Bromocriptine.
2. Vitamin drugs, such as Vitamin E, Vitamin B1, and Vitamin B6.
Lifestyle Tips:
1. First and foremost, maintain a calm and stable mood, avoid depression, irritability, and frustration.
2. Appropriately control fat intake, as it may reduce excessive estrogen levels, so a light diet is recommended.
3. Consume more foods rich in complex B vitamins, which are beneficial for the liver's metabolism of estrogen.
4. Actively treat gynecological conditions, such as irregular menstruation, uterine and ovarian inflammation; avoid induced abortion and maintain a harmonious sexual life.
5. For those with breast tenderness and lumps, consult a doctor and learn self-examination techniques for breast health.
6. For patients with suspected cancer, undergo repeated medical examinations and, if necessary, a biopsy for pathological analysis.
7. This condition has a long course and tends to recur, requiring persistent treatment and maintaining a positive attitude.
Consider changing medication based on your specific situation.
