In today’s article, I want to talk to you about breast hyperplasia.
In simple terms, mammary gland hyperplasia is a small walnut-like lump in the breast, which is a typical “emotional disease”.
Song Dynasty’s “Women’s Daquan Liquor” explained its causes like this, “Women are depressed for a long time, and the tuberculosis in the breasts is like apricots”, “The nucleus grows and falls with emotions.”
It can be seen that mental factors have a great influence on breast hyperplasia.
This disease is actually relatively common in ancient and modern times. Traditional Chinese medicine also has its own views and treatment ideas for this disease.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that liver qi stagnation, meridian qi stagnation, and breast collateral obstruction are the key to the pathogenesis of mammary gland hyperplasia. Therefore, in order to regulate breast hyperplasia, soothe the liver and relieve stagnation, it is an unavoidable idea to soften the firmness and dissipate the knot.
There was a patient, female, 39 years old.
About a year ago, she discovered that there were multiple masses in her bilateral breasts. She felt that it was abnormal, so she went for an examination. The results are as follows:< /p>
< blockquote class="pgc-blockquote-abstract">
Breast scan:
The thickness of bilateral breast tissue is normal, the glandular echoes are increased, enhanced, and unevenly distributed. See scattered in the lower echo area, the surface of the gland is still smooth, no obvious expansion of the gland duct. CDFI: No obvious abnormal blood flow signal was found.
On the right breast at about 10 o’clock, a solid hypoecho was detected at a distance of about 5cm from the nipple, the size was about 1.7X1.3X0.9cm, the boundary was clear, and the shape was irregular , The internal echo is uneven, and there are several spot-like strong echoes inside, and the capsule echo is enhanced and thickened. CDFI: There is no obvious blood flow signal in its periphery and inside.
Left breast probing and several probing and no echoes, the largest is about 3cm away from the nipple at about 2 o’clock, the size is about 0.9X0.5cm, the wall thickness , the inside is still clear. Axillary scan: no abnormally enlarged lymph nodes were found in the bilateral axilla.
At that time, the doctor told her that there was no major problem, just go back to observe and do regular re-examinations. But after going back, unfortunately, the family relationship became tense, and her husband always got angry with her because of family chores.
As a result, the patient experienced increased bilateral breast tenderness, which was unbearable, and finally turned to see Chinese medicine.
Instant diagnosis: breast tenderness before menstruation, relief or disappearance of postmenstrual tenderness, usually irritable and irritable, dry mouth and bitter taste in the morning, thin yellow fur, stringy pulse, no discomfort. .
After understanding the basic situation of the patient, I wrote a composition, see:
Angelica sinensis, Chuanxiong, Xia Subtilis, Vinegar Corydalis, Vinegar Turtle Jia (fried first), Morinda officinalis, Cistanche, Muxiang, Fried Malt, Gardenia, Bupleurum, 7 doses. Shuijianbi. 2 times a day. At the same time, it is matched with external loose knot stickers.
After the medication, the symptoms of breast tenderness were relieved, and the dry mouth and bitterness disappeared. The upper part of the treatment was Chaihu, and Chinese yam was added. After taking 7 doses, the decoction method was the same as before. External use Sanjie Sanjiao.
As a result, the patient’s symptoms disappeared, and after going for reexamination, the hyperplastic mass of the breast also disappeared.
What’s going on here?
Liver, the main dredging. Mammary gland hyperplasia, mammary gland nodules and other masses, the formation of which is rooted in the liver. Frequent anger, depression, anxiety, loss of liver qi can easily lead to liver stagnation and qi stagnation, and the “traffic jam” in the body, so mass is formed.
The patient in the medical case above is an example of this.
You can see that when she went to the doctor, her pulse was stringy, and her illness was due to family conflicts. She was irritable and irritable. Obviously, it was a manifestation of liver stagnation.
Liver stagnation leads to qi stagnation. Qi stagnation, phlegm coagulation. Phlegm condenses and qi stagnates, blocking the breast, forming a breast hyperplasia nodule.
Let’s look at the patient’s thin yellow fur and dry mouth in the morning. This is obviously due to the inflammation of the liver fire, liver qi stagnation, and it turns into heat over time.
What should I do at this time? Soothes the liver and relieves stagnation, softens and dissipates stagnation.
Look at what I opened at that time Compatibility:
Angelica sinensis, Chuanxiong, Prunella, Vinegar Corydalis, Vinegar Turtle Jia (fried first), Morinda officinalis, Cistanche, Muxiang, Fried Malt, Gardenia, Chaihu.
Here, Angelica and Chuanxiong promote blood circulation and promote qi; Prunella vulgaris, Turtle Jia Ruanjian Sanjie; Corydalis Corydalis, Muxiang regulate qi and relieve pain; Morinda officinalis, Cistanche stanchion nourish liver and kidney; stir-fry Malt returns to milk to reduce swelling, regulates Chongren; Gardenia clears heat and eliminates trouble. Compatibility of various medicines plays the role of conditioning Chong and Ren, soothing the liver, regulating qi and relieving pain.
It can be seen from this that the key to regulating breast hyperplasia is to soothe the liver and relieve depression. This is the soul, the foundation.
In fact, in addition to breast hyperplasia and breast nodules, such as thyroid nodules, thyroid adenomas, uterine fibroids, and lung nodules, liver problems must be considered.
The reason is very simple. If there is a mass, it means that there is blood stasis.
In short, the first thing in our life is to be happy, in a good mood, in a good mood, everything will go smoothly! Sometimes we need to learn to decompress ourselves.
Through this article, I hope that my explanation can bring benefits to everyone. The compatibility in the text is recommended to be used in combination with specific symptoms and syndrome differentiation, and should not be taken orally blindly.
Ok, that’s all for today.
