Can women have their breasts scraped?

The most common breast disease is breast hyperplasia. Women with breast hyperplasia will experience breast pain, lumps, and irritability. They must be treated promptly. Traditional Chinese medicine is effective in treating breast hyperplasia. A common treatment for breast hyperplasia is chest scraping.

1. Governing Law

(1) Acupoint selection

Jianjing, Tianzong, Waiguan, Tanzhong, Fenglong, Taixi, Xingjian, and Xiaxi.

(2) Positioning

Jianjing: On the shoulder, in front of the breast, at the midpoint of the line connecting the Dazhui point and the end of the acromion.

Tianzong: In the scapular region, at the central depression of the infraspinous fossa, level with the fourth thoracic vertebra.

Waiguan: 2 inches above the transverse wrist line on the back of the hand, between the ulna and radius, on the line connecting Yangchi and the tip of the elbow.

Danzhong: On the chest, on the anterior midline, at the level of the fourth intercostal space, the midpoint of the line connecting the two nipples.

Fenglong: 8 inches above the tip of the lateral malleolus, 1 inch outside the Tiaokou point, and two horizontal fingers outside the anterior crest of the tibia.

Taixi: Behind the medial malleolus, at the midpoint between the tip of the medial malleolus and the Achilles tendon.

Between the lines: between the first and second toes, at the junction of the red and white flesh behind the edge of the toe web.

Xia Xi: On the dorsum of the foot, between the fourth and fifth toes, at the junction of the red and white flesh behind the edge of the toe web.

(3) Scraping order

First scrape the Jianjing point on the shoulder and the Tianzong point on the back, then scrape the Tanzhong point on the chest, then scrape the Waiguan point on the forearm, scrape the Fenglong point on the outer side of the lower limb, scrape the Taixi point, and re-scrape the Xingjian point and Xiaxi point on the dorsum of the foot.

(4) Scraping method: purgation method

Apply appropriate amount of scraping oil on the area where scraping is required. As the shoulders and back are rich in muscles, you should use more force and scrape the Jianjing point on the shoulder and the Tianzong point on the back to produce sha. Then scrape the Tanzhong point on the midline of the chest using the corner of the scraper. Do not scrape too hard. Do this 30 times until sha appears. Scrape the Waiguan point on the outer side of the upper limb again 30 times, until sha appears. Afterwards, scrape the Fenglong point on the outer side of the lower limbs and the Taixi point on the foot, 30 times each, until no sha appears. Finally, scrape the Xingjian and Xiaxi points on the dorsum of the foot again to bring out the sha.

2. How to self-diagnose breast hyperplasia

1. View

Face the mirror with your hands down, and carefully observe whether the two sides of your breasts are symmetrical in size, whether there are any abnormal protrusions, and whether the skin and nipples have sunken or eczema.

2. Touch

Lift your left hand to the back of your head, use your right hand to check your left breast, and gently press the breast with the fingertips to feel whether there are any lumps. Start checking from the nipple in a circular clockwise direction, gradually moving outward for about three or four circles until the entire breast is checked. Use the same method to check the right breast.

3. Lying down

Lie down flat, place a pillow under your right shoulder, bend your right hand under your head, and repeat the "touch" method to check the right breast.

4. Twist

In addition to the breasts, you should also check the armpits for swollen lymph nodes. Finally, use your thumb and index finger to press and twist the nipples to pay attention to any abnormal secretions.
