How to treat chest nodules?

During physical examinations, women often find nodules on their chests. Chest nodules are caused by breast hyperplasia, a disease of hormonal imbalance. Treatment should focus on treatment and conditioning principles. Patients often have various complications caused by breast hyperplasia. In addition to Western medicine treatment, breast hyperplasia can also be conditioned by Chinese medicine, which can not only dredge Qi and blood, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, but also relieve the aggravation of the disease.

TCM's external treatment of internal diseases

At present, the best way to treat breast hyperplasia is the treatment principle of traditional Chinese medicine:

(1) Soothe the liver and regulate qi, and regulate qi flow.

The nipples and breasts are where the liver meridian runs. Women's innate liver is responsible for storing blood and regulating discharge. The liver is yin in nature but uses yang, making it easy for them to become depressed. People with breast lumps often have depressed temperament, excessive worries, or irritability, chest tightness and belching. Breast pain and changes in the size of the lump are also often related to emotional changes. Liver depression and qi stagnation have an important influence on the pathogenesis of breast problems. When the seven emotions are not smooth, the liver loses its smooth function, and liver depression and qi stagnation accumulate in the intestinal network, causing pain and lumps. Therefore, soothing the liver and regulating qi, and regulating qi are the main principles for treating breast lumps.

(2) Promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and dredge the milk meridians.

Breast pain and lumps are the main symptoms, both of which are characteristic manifestations of blood stasis syndrome. Worry, anger, depression and unhappiness will inevitably lead to poor liver qi and stagnation of qi, which will last for a long time and spread to the inside, causing blood circulation to be blocked and menstruation to be blocked, unable to fill the uterus and unable to overflow into the breasts. The milk meridians are blocked, qi stagnates and blood stagnates, forming lumps, which will cause pain. Before menstruation, the Chong and Ren meridians are filled with blood, causing breast swelling and pain to worsen. After menstruation, the Qi and blood are released, and the swelling and pain are relieved. It can be seen that it is inevitable for people with breast problems to develop blood stasis. During treatment, we must pay attention to promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, as well as unblocking the milk collaterals.

(3) It can resolve phlegm, soften hard masses, reduce swelling and disperse lumps.

Worrying too much can damage the spleen or cause liver depression and qi stagnation, which can go against the spleen and earth, and can cause the spleen to lose its healthy function, internal generation of phlegm and dampness, insufficient kidney qi, and malnutrition of the Chong and Ren meridians. If the spleen yang cannot be warmed, semen cannot be transported and transformed, and moisture accumulates to form phlegm. Liver depression lasts for a long time, turning into heat and fire, burning body fluid into phlegm. Phlegm, Qi, and blood stasis combine to form breast lumps. Therefore, phlegm congestion has a certain influence on the pathogenesis of breast diseases. Resolving phlegm, softening hard masses, reducing swelling and dispersing nodules can help the swelling and pain disappear without a trace.

Gua Sha Therapy

Use scraping to wipe the corresponding area of ​​the back breast (that is, the area on the back corresponding to the breast on the chest). First apply scraping oil, and then scrape from top to bottom and from inside to outside in turn. Nodules, sand particles, and cord-like objects found under the scraper should be scraped away with special care. The areas on the chest corresponding to these parts are the areas where breast hyperplasia occurs. Scraping the spine, the bladder meridians on both sides, and the parallel Jiaji points can consolidate the effects of the treatment. The more thoroughly the sha is removed during the scraping process, the more thoroughly the breast hyperplasia will disappear. You can also scrape the Tanzhong area from top to bottom and from inside to outside.
