New Year's Day is healthy
Breast nodules are a common breast disease, and it is especially common in women. Recently, there were reports that a 16-year-old girl was diagnosed with more than 10 breast nodules, which attracted widespread attention. Doctors point out that this is not an isolated case, but rather a prevalence of breast nodules in young women. So, why do so many nodules appear?We can analyze it from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine.
First of all, we need to understand the mechanism of breast nodule formation. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, breast nodules belong to two problems: "stasis" and "qi stagnation". Specifically, stasis refers to the poor flow of qi and blood in the mammary glands, resulting in blood stasis and the formation of nodules. Qi stagnation refers to symptoms such as breast swelling and pain caused by poor flow of qi and blood. Therefore, in the case of breast nodules, we need to start from two aspects: regulating qi and blood and relaxing the meridians.
In traditional Chinese medicine, there are many classic prescriptions that can be used for breast nodules. Among them, the most famous is the "Peach Red Four Things Soup" in "Jin Kui Yaolu". This formula is composed of four flavors: Chuanxiong, white peony, angelica, and peach kernel, which has the effects of invigorating blood and removing blood stasis, regulating menstruation and relieving pain. Of course, you can also choose other prescriptions for breast nodules, such as "Yueguan Dan" in "Shenghui Fang", and "Milk Drink Pills" in "Zhengzhi Guidelines", etc., these prescriptions have the effect of dredging meridians, activating blood and removing blood stasis, which can improve the symptoms of breast nodules.
In addition, acupuncture can also be used for breast nodules in traditional Chinese medicine. By applying acupuncture on specific acupuncture points, the flow of qi and blood can be regulated, and the effect of relaxing the meridians, activating blood and removing blood stasis can be achieved. For example, commonly used acupuncture points include Zusanli, Hegu, Taixi, etc., and the specific usage needs to be individualized according to the specific situation of the patient.
However, TCM** breast nodules are not a panacea. When selecting the best method, it is also necessary to consider the patient's condition, symptoms and physical constitution and other factors. In addition, traditional Chinese medicine requires a certain amount of time to adhere to it for a long time, and it is generally through several consecutive cycles that significant results can be seen.
To sum up, the prevalence of breast nodules in young women is a problem that cannot be ignored. Traditional Chinese medicine theories suggest that breast nodules are related to stasis and qi stagnation. In the case of breast nodules, you can choose the classic prescription of traditional Chinese medicine or acupuncture, with the goal of dredging the meridians, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. However, TCM requires time and patience, and patients should seek medical attention as soon as possible and actively communicate with their doctors to find a suitable solution for them.
