As one of the most common malignant tumors in women, breast cancer has become an important factor threatening women's health. The incidence of breast cancer is increasing year by year, which brings a serious physical and psychological burden to women. Early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer is essential for ** and prognosis. Therefore, it is very important to understand the symptoms of breast cancer in the early stages. This article will elaborate on the four major symptoms of breast cancer in the early stage from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, combined with traditional Chinese medicine theories and ancient and modern prescriptions, so as to help women better alert and understand the development of breast cancer.
Early symptoms of breast cancer are breast pain, breast lumps, abnormal breast discharge, and breast changes. These symptoms tend to quietly accompany the development of breast cancer and are not easily noticed by women. Therefore, it is crucial to be aware and timely detect changes in these symptoms.
First of all, breast pain is one of the common symptoms in the early stages of breast cancer. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that breast pain is mostly related to qi stagnation and blood stasis. Qi stagnation and blood stasis is one of the classic theories of traditional Chinese medicine to explain the pathogenesis of breast cancer. Ancient Chinese medicine is experienced, and the author discovered a traditional Chinese medicine prescription called "Huoxue and Huayu Pill" from the "Surgical Treasure Scroll", which is said to relieve breast pain and promote breast recovery. This formula includes Chinese herbs such as safflower, peach kernel, Chuanxiong and angelica, which relieve breast pain by promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.
Secondly, a breast lump is another important symptom in the early stages of breast cancer. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that breast lumps are mainly due to the formation of qi and blood stasis. In the ancient book of Chinese medicine, "Yizong Jinjian", there is a party called "Xiaoyao Pill", which is said to soothe breast lumps. The formula of Xiaoyao Pill includes Chinese herbs such as angelica, salvia, red peony and bellflower, which have the effect of invigorating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, which can promote the patency of the breast glands and reduce the symptoms of breast lumps.
In addition, abnormal breast discharge is also an important manifestation in the early stages of breast cancer. People with breast cancer often have breast discharge, which can be bloody or purulent. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that abnormal breast discharge is mostly related to breast lesions, such as breast cysts. It is said that the traditional Chinese medicine prescription "Xiaoyaosan" can clear breast effusion, regulate breast function, and reduce the occurrence of abnormal breast discharge. The main ingredients of Xiaoyaosan include Chinese herbs such as skullcap, white peony and poria cocos, which regulate breast function by clearing heat and detoxifying, dispelling dampness and reducing swelling.
Finally, breast changes are also one of the important symptoms in the early stages of breast cancer. Breast cancer patients often have redness, thickening, and uneven surface of the breast. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that these changes are mostly related to breast qi stagnation and blood stasis. Ancient Chinese medicine has a number of prescriptions that can improve the symptoms of breast changes. Among them, "Breast Stomach Regulating Fusan" is a classic Chinese herbal medicine, mainly including Shengmai, Zexiao, Phellodendron Phellodendron and Half Branch Lotus and other Chinese herbal medicines, which have the effect of dispelling wind and improving breast changes.

From a TCM perspective, these symptoms are mainly related to qi stagnation and blood stasis. There are many classic formulas in ancient Chinese medicine that can soothe these symptoms and improve breast diseases. However, TCM** breast cancer still needs more clinical practice and scientific validation. Therefore, in the face of early symptoms of breast cancer, it is recommended that women actively carry out breast self-examination and breast screening, and seek medical attention in time for early detection, early diagnosis, and early **.
