What to do about breast pain

  Treatment for breast pain depends on whether the pain is cyclical or non-cyclical and what is causing the breast pain. Prior to treatment, the doctor will consider the patient’s age, medical history and severity of pain in order to develop a different treatment plan.  1.Treatment of cyclical pain includes: if the pain is considered to be caused by breast enlargement, it will usually have cyclical manifestations with obvious breast swelling and pain before menstruation and relieved after menstruation. Chinese herbs can be taken to dredge the liver and regulate the qi, regulate the flushing and regulate the blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, which can significantly improve breast pain and dissipate lumps.  2. The treatment of non-cyclical pain will depend on the cause of breast pain. Breast pain caused by inflammatory lesions is more common. If a lump appears in the breast with redness and pain, it is generally considered to be an inflammatory breast lesion with a high probability, and specialist consultation is recommended for active treatment. If the breast pain is caused by recent abnormal mood swings, overwork, poor diet, or even staying up late, it can be improved by life regulation, if the effect is not obvious, you can consult a specialist and take Chinese medicine to regulate. In case of advanced tumor lesion, it can also cause non-cyclic pain, which should be actively treated for the cause.  If a patient has pain lasting longer than two weeks, accompanied by a new lump that looks thicker and thicker, seems to be concentrated in a specific area of the breast and seems to become more pronounced over time, seek prompt medical attention for these symptoms. If the breast becomes painful, you can first examine the breast yourself; if there is a problem with the breast be sure to do regular follow-up examinations to prevent the condition from worsening.
