Patient's question:
Is Rútōng Píngxiāo Wan a fake medicine? / Can it cure this disease?Doctor's answer:
Disease Analysis: Breast cyst is a benign lesion of the breast. The combined breast epithelial cells in the lesion show significant apical secretion, which accumulates in the ductular tissue to form cysts. So, what is the best treatment for breast cysts? In fact, the best treatment for breast cysts, or cystic disease, should primarily involve surgical treatment. Before surgery, the location of the lesion should be clearly identified.Guidance: Early-stage breast cysts should be primarily excised. If there is malignancy, a mastectomy may be performed. For early-stage breast cystic hyperplasia, apply 50g of breast bruise externally daily, applying it to the affected area. After one month of follow-up, 80% of patients with hyperplastic cysts will either disappear or significantly shrink. If there is breast pain, take Ruzheng No. 2 to promote blood circulation and resolve stagnation. Most patients will experience significant symptom relief. Taking it for 1-3 months can lead to complete recovery. Meanwhile, patients with breast cysts should maintain a positive mindset and optimistic emotions, which are beneficial for the prevention and treatment of breast cysts.
Lifestyle Management: Breast cysts are mainly caused by endocrine disorders, leading to the hyperplasia of ductular epithelial cells and an increase in intraductular cells. This results in the elongation, tortuosity, and folding of ducts. In folded areas, ischemia occurs, causing necrosis and the formation of cysts. Common types of breast cysts include simple cysts and galactoceles. Simple cysts are the most prevalent type of breast cyst. Breast cysts can also be treated through dietary therapy.
