Can Chinese medicine hospitals treat breast cancer?

Nowadays, more and more women are suffering from breast cancer. It is closely related to our living environment and personal living habits. Women who have early menarche or late menarche have a particularly high chance of developing breast cancer. Nowadays, many things are ripened with hormones, which leads to many women developing very early, thus leading to an increase in breast cancer patients. The difference between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine is that traditional Chinese medicine generally uses internal treatment methods to treat diseases, while Western medicine performs surgery or chemotherapy. So what are the traditional Chinese medicine treatment methods for breast cancer?

Breast cancer

1. Fighting poison with poison: This method is the most common method of TCM to treat breast cancer and has been used by medical scientists of all generations in the treatment of cancer. It uses its efficacy of opening knots and removing toxins to gradually eliminate the remaining cancer cells, but it must be carefully controlled in clinical practice and stopped at the right time.

2. Heat-clearing and detoxification method: This is also one of the common principles of Chinese medicine for treating cancer. Many Chinese medicines have anti-cancer effects. Heat-clearing and detoxification method is one of the most commonly used principles for treating malignant tumors. In patients with middle and late stage breast cancer, there are usually symptoms of internal toxic heat or pathogenic heat and stasis. At this time, this method can be combined with other methods for treatment, and often achieves good results.

3. Blood circulation and stasis removal method: Chinese medicine experts believe that tumors are related to blood stasis, which is one of the pathological causes of breast cancer. The use of blood circulation and stasis removal drugs can not only improve the "hypercoagulable state" of breast cancer patients, so that cancer cells are inhibited by anticancer drugs and the patient's own immune active cells, but also reduce platelet aggregation and tumor metastasis, which is beneficial to cancer control and the removal of cancer foci.

4. Strengthening the body and eliminating evil: According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, when the human body is deficient in Qi, the evil Qi in the body will condense together and synthesize into pathogenic factors, causing the body to become ill, leading to the occurrence of breast cancer and allowing the tumor to infiltrate, spread and metastasize. Therefore, strengthening the body and eliminating evil is one of the fundamental methods to treat breast cancer.

5. Softening and dispersing tumors: According to TCM theory, for tumors as hard as stone, "hard ones should be cut", "lumps should be dispersed", and "forbidden ones should be removed". This method has been widely used in clinical practice. Combined with other therapies, it can enhance the effect of eliminating cancer tumors.

6. Expectorant and dampness-removing method: Many tumors are caused by the accumulation of phlegm and dampness. Therefore, the expectorant and dampness-removing method occupies an important position in the TCM treatment of tumors. It can not only alleviate symptoms but also control some tumors.

Traditional Chinese medicine is good at finding the cause of the disease and then eradicating it, so the chance of recurrence is very small. Most people choose Western medicine because Western medicine is quick to take effect, while traditional Chinese medicine is a very long process. Many people cannot endure the pain for a long time, so they have to go to Western medicine. If you are ready to receive traditional Chinese medicine treatment, you must be prepared to fight the disease for a long time.
