Category II breast hyperplasia is not serious; it is simply a type of breast hyperplasia. Breast hyperplasia is mainly related to the estrogen levels in the body. The main treatments should focus on soothing the liver and regulating qi, promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis, regulating mood, and adjusting endocrine functions. Some traditional Chinese medicines that soothe the liver, regulate qi, and promote blood circulation to remove blood stasis can also be used to manage these symptoms. There is no psychological burden associated with this, and normal treatment is sufficient.

How to regulate mammary gland hyperplasia

For symptoms that are not severe or are mild, most do not require treatment, but regular re-examination of breast ultrasonography or mammography is necessary. For more pronounced symptoms, medication and symptomatic treatment can be used as follows: Bras can be used to support the breasts, and traditional Chinese medicine can be used to treat breast hyperplasia by smoothing the liver, regulating Qi, and harmonizing the Conception and Governing Vessels. Endocrine treatment can also be used, though it should be avoided as much as possible. However, for premenopausal women with severe pain, it can be taken before the onset of menstruation. When undergoing endocrine treatment, regular pelvic ultrasound examinations are required, as endocrine treatment may increase the risk of endometrial cancer. Vitamin treatment, such as with Vitamins B, C, and E, can improve liver function, regulate sex hormone metabolism, and enhance autonomic nervous function, and can be used as an adjunctive therapy for this condition.

What should I do if I have breast hyperplasia?

In clinical practice, based on different pathological types, breast hyperplasia can generally be divided into simple breast hyperplasia and cystic breast hyperplasia, and the treatment methods are different. For simple breast hyperplasia: If there are no symptoms such as pain, we generally do not use drug treatment. Maintaining a regular lifestyle, relaxing, eating less high-fat food, and drinking fewer caffeinated beverages are all beneficial. If the pain affects normal life and work, it needs to be treated in a timely manner to relieve the pain. Surgery is generally not recommended unless the growth mass cannot rule out malignancy. As for the treatment of cystic breast hyperplasia: If the cyst is small and the symptoms are mild, endocrine treatment can be carried out; If the cyst is large, has compression symptoms, or ultrasound suggests that the cyst wall is locally thickened, has abundant blood supply, or there are tumors attached to the cyst wall, or the patient is greatly stressed about cancer, surgical treatment can be considered.

How does Chinese medicine treat mammary gland hyperplasia?

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that hyperplasia of the mammary glands starts with liver depression, which then leads to blood stasis and phlegm coalescing into masses. The treatment should focus on soothing the liver and regulating qi, activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and softening the hard masses and dispersing the lumps. We will diagnose the patient based on their symptoms, pulse, and tongue coating, and conduct a detailed differentiation of syndromes. Different types of syndromes require different treatments. Specifically, we recommend visiting a hospital to see a professional TCM practitioner for proper syndrome differentiation and prescription of appropriate herbal formulas. Moreover, Chinese medicine has unique methods in treating mammary gland hyperplasia, and its effectiveness is quite notable in clinical practice.

How to treat breast hyperplasia?

For breast hyperplasia, oral medication can be taken, such as some traditional Chinese medicine formulations that also have effects like activating blood circulation to remove blood stasis, softening lumps, and dispersing nodules, such as Ruhe Sanjie tablets. One can also use traditional Chinese medicine orally to regulate the condition, which generally includes herbs that soothe the liver and relieve depression, soften lumps and disperse nodules, or strengthen the spleen. Moreover, for breast hyperplasia, it is recommended to maintain a good mood and eat fewer soy products, as there is a certain relationship between breast hyperplasia and estrogen, and soy products may contain estrogen, such as soybeans. It is also crucial to maintain a positive mindset. Breast hyperplasia, in many cases, might not require treatment; it is suggested to have a follow-up every 3 to 6 months. If accompanied by severe breast pain, oral medication can be taken for adjustment. (Please use medication under the guidance of a doctor)

How to maintain breast hyperplasia usually?

Breast hyperplasia is closely related to the levels of estrogen in the body, as well as to being angry, staying up late, and eating spicy food. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid getting angry, staying up late, and eating spicy food regularly. For mild cases without symptoms, there is no need to address it if it does not affect daily life or work. If significant pain occurs, we can administer traditional Chinese medicine treatments, which can help soothe the liver and regulate qi, and harmonize the thoroughfare and conception vessels. Additionally, treatment can be supplemented with Vitamin A and Vitamin E. If these are not effective, endocrinological treatments specific to the symptoms may be used. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a physician based on the specific circumstances.)
