The incidence of mammary gland hyperplasia is more than 80% among women of childbearing age and is the most common breast disease. At the 2009 symposium of Chinese medicine and Chinese and Western medicine in Guangdong Province last weekend, Chinese medicine experts took the pulse of mammary gland hyperplasia, saying that mammary gland hyperplasia is divided into “physiological non-cystic mammary gland hyperplasia” and “pathological cystic hyperplasia”. The physiological non-cystic breast enlargement actually belongs to the “subhealth” state of the breast. Although physiological breast enlargement is not a pathological change, it is also an early manifestation of endocrine metabolic dysfunction in the female body. The Chinese medicine believes that most of the breast enlargement is related to the “seven emotions, qi and blood, spleen and stomach disorders”, therefore, to get rid of the sub-healthy state of the breast, you need to start from the regulation of emotions, the smooth flow of qi and blood, etc. Physiological mammary hyperplasia: the “subhealthy” state of the breast Mammary hyperplasia accounts for 75% of all breast diseases, mostly seen in women between the ages of 25 and 45, and the breast pain it causes is often distressing to women. Huang Lin, professor of Chinese medicine at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College, introduced the latest concept that mastocytosis is a benign breast disease in which the normal development and degeneration process of the breast is out of order. However, breast hyperplasia cannot be treated as a generalized disease. Huang Lin said that women who find breast pain must be distinguished between physiological and pathological: If continuous pain occurs in the breast during each menstrual period and varies in length, some for months and some for years, this is due to imperfect cyclical changes in the breast, which is physiological hyperplasia of the breast, also called “breast pain”. The changes in the breast tissue include hyperplasia of fibrous tissue around the alveoli or lobules, irregular development of the lobules, and hyperplasia of epithelial cells in the alveoli or ducts. There is no need to worry too much about physiological breast enlargement, as most of them can heal on their own. Some women’s symptoms can disappear completely after having a baby or after breastfeeding, while others heal themselves after 1 to 2 years of menopause. Pathological breast hyperplasia, on the other hand, is a cause for alarm. When there is pathological hyperplasia of the breast, the epithelial cells of the milk ducts proliferate and the small milk ducts in the breast are highly expanded and form cysts, so it is called “cystic hyperplasia”. Huang Lin emphasized that the disease is rarely carcinogenic. Since it is difficult for patients to detect the difference between physiological and pathological hyperplasia during self-examination, it is important to seek diagnosis from a specialist for safety when breast swelling and pain occur. The fact that most physiological breast enlargement can heal itself, does it mean that it can be left alone? Huang Lin reminded that physiological simple hyperplasia accounts for most of the breast enlargement, but the essence is the poor structure of the breast, if it continues to develop may lead to pathological changes, cystic hyperplasia or breast tumor. Therefore, physiological hyperplasia can be considered as a “subhealth” state of the breast between health and disease. The subhealthy state of the human body is closely related to the environment, stress, eating disorders and other poor lifestyles, and epidemiological data shows that mastocytosis is also inseparable from these poor lifestyles. Huang Lin said that since it is sub-health, it needs to be conditioned so that it does not develop into a disease. The management of breast subhealth plays an important role in preventing breast tumors, female reproductive and endocrine diseases. In fact, breast subhealth is a common manifestation of women’s subhealth and is easier to detect and manage early than endocrine disorders and other gynecological disorders. According to the theory of Chinese medicine, female breasts are connected with liver and stomach, and breast enlargement is mostly caused by “liver qi stagnation, phlegm and silt interconnection, and deregulation of the filling and filling”. Specifically, it is also closely related to “the seven emotions, blood and Qi disorders, spleen and stomach disorders, and kidney essence disorders”. From the point of view of physiology, mastocytosis is more common in people with four types of physique: qi-yu, phlegm-damp, blood-stagnant, and damp-heat. For this reason, women should be good at regulating their emotions, maintain a good mental state, and learn to use chat, travel and other ways to vent out when they have bad feelings. Especially during menstruation and pregnancy, it is important to pay attention to the regulation of bad emotions. Remember: being happy is the most effective way to prevent mastocytosis. 2, reasonable rest life should be regular, pay attention to rest, to ensure sufficient sleep, not often stay up late. In addition, a regular sex life can also help to adjust the physiological rhythm disorders and endocrine disorders. 3, menstrual cycle diet therapy premenstrual diet regimen: (1) a small number of meals, while using a low-sugar diet to avoid sweets; (2) reduce dairy products to avoid breast obstruction and absorption of magnesium in the body, because magnesium can help regulate the concentration of dynamic hormones, while promoting secretion; (3) avoid animal fat, polyunsaturated fat instead of animal fat; (4) limit the amount of salt, it is best to take a low-sodium diet to prevent (5) increase the intake of fiber, eat more vegetables, beans, whole grains, buckwheat and barley; (6) avoid caffeine, abstain from coffee, tea, chocolate and other foods containing caffeine. Post-menstrual diet: within 1 to 5 days after menstruation, protein, minerals and blood-supplementing foods should be supplemented, while avoiding excessive diet of caffeine-containing beverages, cheeses, chocolate, etc. The recommended soups: yellow cauliflower and peeled pork soup, black bean stew with black chicken, crucian carp soup, duck soup with peeled peeled peeled peeled peeled peeled peeled pork soup, etc. have therapeutic effects on mammary gland hyperplasia. The experts said that massage can unblock the breast meridians, promote the circulation of qi, blood and lymphatic fluid of the meridians, and stimulate the nerve conduction to provide the nutrition needed by the breast. The specific methods: ● Hot compress massage breast Every night before going to bed with a hot towel on both sides of the breast 3 to 5 minutes, with the palm of the hand massage around the breast, from left to right, massage 20 to 50 times. Push the breast laterally. Use the left palm root and palm surface from the middle of the chest to push the right breast horizontally to the armpit, return with the five fingers to bring back the breast tissue, repeat 20 to 50 times, then change to massage the left breast 20 to 50 times with the right hand. Straight push breast first use the right hand palm surface in the upper left breast, that is, below the clavicle force, evenly and gently push down to the root of the breast, and then push back up along the original route, do 20 to 50 times, and then change the left hand to massage the right breast 20 to 50 times.
