Mammary hyperplasia refers to the proliferation of breast epithelium and fibrous tissue, structural degenerative lesions of the ducts and lobules of the breast tissue and the growth of progressive connective tissue, and its pathogenesis is mainly due to endocrine hormonal imbalance. Mastocytosis is the most common breast disease in women, and its incidence accounts for the first place in breast diseases. In recent years, the incidence of the disease has been increasing year by year, and the age is getting younger and younger.
Mammary gland hyperplasia is a common gynecological disease. It occurs in middle-aged women between the ages of 25 and 45 because this is the period when women’s sexual function is at its peak. It is characterized by the growth of single or multiple lumps in different parts of the breast, with soft texture, unclear borders, movable, and often accompanied by varying degrees of pain. Especially before menstruation, after exertion, or during mood swings such as anger (called qi yu in Chinese medicine), the lumps increase in size and the pain worsens, while after menstruation the lumps shrink significantly and the pain decreases. The pain is usually distension and rarely stabbing. It should be reminded that breast enlargement has the potential to turn into breast pain, so if you have had breast enlargement for a longer period of time you should go to the hospital for a checkup for timely diagnosis and treatment.
Generally speaking, women are sentimental, and when they are not well, the fire of the heart and liver will rise up, and the liver meridian passes through the breast and follows the two sides, resulting in qi depression and phlegm condensation in the breast. Therefore, Chinese medicine generally uses the method of soothing the liver and relieving depression, moving qi and resolving phlegm. In addition, some “qi tonics” such as deer horn gum can also be used to treat breast disease with the best results.

Mammary hyperplasia is a physiological hyperplasia of the normal breast lobules with incomplete replenishment, forming a disorder of the normal structure of the breast, with the epithelial cells and connective tissue of the ducts of the mammary vesicles proliferating as the basic pathological changes, belonging to the pathological hyperplasia, which is neither an inflammatory nor a tumor. Lobular hyperplasia occurs in about 50% of women of childbearing age, mostly in women aged 30-50 years, with a peak incidence of 35-40 years. The true cause of the disease is still unclear and may be related to unbalanced hormone levels in the body or the greater sensitivity of breast tissue to sex hormones. around 2010, it is mostly thought to be related to endocrine disorders and psychological factors. A decrease in luteinizing hormone secretion and a relative increase in estrogen are important causes of this disease.
Predisposed population
Some people call mastopexy the “modern disease” of women, and it is the most common breast disease in middle-aged women, with a peak at the age of 30-50, and less common in adolescence and post-menopause. So, why is mastopexy likely to occur in the 30-50 age group? The reasons are as follows.
1. Breast symptoms are synchronized with changes in breast tissue, that is, with changes in the menstrual cycle (ovarian function). That is, with the cyclical changes in estrogen and progesterone levels in the body, circumferential hyperplasia and rejuvenation occur. The main histological change in mastocytosis is the hyperplasia and incomplete recovery of the breast essence. This phenomenon is the result of the imbalance of estrogen and progesterone ratio.
2, Patients are mostly sex hormone secreting period, the disease is rare in pre-puberty and declines after menopause, consistent with the rise and fall of ovarian function.
3, from the irregular performance of breast lesions on the breast, also indicates that it is caused by endocrine influence. Clinically, most patients with mastopathy occur on the non-lactating side, or on the non-lactating side with heavy symptoms. In contrast, mastopathy (especially breast pain) in unmarried patients with no children can mostly resolve or heal on its own after pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding.
Disease Classification
There are many types of mastocytosis, some of which are completely physiological and can subside on their own without special treatment, such as simple mastocytosis, while others are pathological and require active treatment, especially cystic hyperplasia, which cannot be taken lightly due to the possibility of cancer.
1, breast pain: also called simple breast hyperplasia, most common in young girls and young patients, the reason for this is due to the high secretion of gonadal hormones and fluctuating changes, with obvious periodic breast swelling and pain as a pending sign, and the pain disappears on its own after menstruation. The pain is mainly localized in the breast, but sometimes the pain can radiate to the ipsilateral axilla, chest wall, and sometimes even to the back of the shoulder, often affecting sleep, work and study, and causing anxiety and agitation in many patients. This type of hyperplasia is a normal physiological phenomenon, and patients need not be overly anxious and anxious in the first place. As long as they adjust their emotions and maintain a balance, generally elevated endocrine hormones can be corrected slowly, and various symptoms can disappear on their own. If the pain is more obvious, you can also use Chinese medicine with the function of de-liverizing and regulating qi, such as “Gou Zhu Zhu capsule”, etc., taking 1-2 courses of treatment, generally can receive good results.
2, breast adenopathy: the basis of this type of lesion is the expansion of the lobules and ducts in the breast and the hyperplasia of the tissue around the gland. Treatment of this type of hyperplasia should be based on removing blood stasis and dispersing nodules, supplemented by Chinese herbal medicines that dredge the liver and regulate qi.
3, cystic hyperplasia: Some people claim that this type of hyperplasia is the real pathological hyperplasia. It is mainly lesioned by the proliferation of epithelial cells in the milk ducts. The lumps that appear in the breast are mostly diffuse thickening, with some patients showing limited manifestations and mostly oval-shaped sacs, which are easily confused with fibers. Such enlargement may develop into cancer, which often causes worry and panic among patients. Therefore, once diagnosed, it is necessary to be vigilant and actively undergo systematic treatment.
Causes of pathogenesis
Long-term unreasonable dietary structure, poor living habits, and excessive psychological stress cause acidification of the body and a decline in the body’s functions, which in turn causes the body’s metabolic cycle to slow down and a large amount of this substance is deposited in the body and cannot be discharged, resulting in poor blood flow, endocrine hormone imbalance, menstrual disorders, and other phenomena that cause breast diseases, namely mammary gland hyperplasia.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, it is caused by depression and anger injuring the liver, thoughts injuring the spleen, qi stagnation and blood stagnation, phlegm coagulation into nucleus, which is called “breast fetish” in Chinese medicine.
Modern medicine, however, believes that its occurrence, development and regression are entirely due to hormonal cyclical changes in women’s bodies. When the ovaries secrete too much estrogen and too little luteinizing progesterone, or when these two secretions are not in harmony, it can cause hyperplasia of the epithelial cells and fibrous tissue in the breast ducts. Normally, the glandular follicles, ducts and fibrous tissues of the breast of every woman who has reached puberty go through a process of tissue changes of proliferation and recovery during each menstrual cycle. As a result of this change, every woman may experience mild or severe swelling and pain in one or both breasts before each menstrual cycle, and the swelling and pain disappear naturally after the menstrual cycle, which does not hinder life, study and work at all and is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, when the body under the action of certain stress factors (such as work is too intense, emotional excitement, unmarried at an advanced age, not breastfeeding after childbirth and suffering from certain chronic diseases, etc.), it is possible that the breast should have recovered the breast hyperplasia tissue is not recovered or recovery is incomplete, over time, it will form breast hyperplasia, manifested as thickened breast lobe and nodular particles, breast pain and nipple overflow and other three major symptoms and The three major symptoms and signs are thickened lobes and nodules, breast swelling and pain, and nipple discharge.
Pathophysiology
The excessive acidification of body tissues and fluids, the body cells are in acidic body fluids, which leads to the decrease of dissolved oxygen in normal cells, resulting in the decrease of cellular activity and slowing down of metabolic cycle to 65% of the normal value, normal cells cannot survive, but there are also cells that take the initiative to mutate without changing chromosomes, the phenotype of cells is changed and tumor traits are expressed, these cells expand rapidly, thus forming the real tumor entity. These cells rapidly expand to form a true tumor entity.
Clinical manifestations
The symptoms of mastocytosis are mainly characterized by periodic pain in the breast. The pain is initially diffuse and swollen, and the tenderness is obvious in the upper and middle part of the breast, and increases before menstruation each month. In severe cases, the pain is persistent before and after menstruation. Sometimes the pain radiates to the armpit, back of the shoulder, upper limbs and other places. About 80% of patients have symptoms of breast pain, mostly bilateral, but also unilateral. The nature of the pain can be classified as distension, stabbing pain, tingling pain, hidden pain or tenderness. Breast lumps are the main basis for the diagnosis of breast disease, most of them are multiple, varying in size, hard or firm in texture, not adhering to the skin, and the surface of the lump is often not smooth and has a granular feel when touched. In addition to the above symptoms, some patients have itchy nipples, overflow and systemic symptoms such as bitterness and distension, chest tightness, anorexia and menstrual disorders.
Patients often report a lump in the breast, but only thickened breast glands are palpable during clinical examination. A very small number of adolescent simple lobular hyperplasia can heal spontaneously in about 2 years, while most patients require treatment.
Breast pain and lumps are the main clinical manifestations of this disease.
(1) Breast pain: often swelling or stabbing pain, which can involve one or both breasts, with one side being the most common, and the pain is untouchable in severe cases, even affecting daily life and work. The pain is mainly at the breast lump, but can also radiate to the affected axilla, chest or back of the shoulder; some of them show painful or itchy nipples. Breast pain often appears or worsens a few days before menstruation and decreases or disappears after menstruation; it can also fluctuate with emotional changes. This kind of pain related to menstrual cycle and emotional changes is the main feature of the clinical manifestation of mastopathy.
(2) Breast lumps: The lumps may occur unilaterally or bilaterally in the breast, singly or in multiples, preferably in the upper outer quadrant of the breast, but also in other quadrants. The shape of the masses may be lumpy, nodular, striated, granular, etc., with lumpy being the most common. The masses have inconspicuous borders, medium or slightly hard texture, good mobility, no adhesions to surrounding tissues, and often painful to touch. The size of the lump varies from a small one as large as a grain of corn to a large one of 3 to 100 px. The breast lump also has the characteristic of changing with the menstrual cycle, with the lump increasing in size and hardening before menstruation and shrinking and softening after menstruation.
(3) Nipple overflow: A few patients may have nipple overflow, which is spontaneous, straw yellow or brown plasma overflow.
(4) Menstrual disorders: Patients with this disease may also see irregular pre and postmenstrual periods, low volume or light color, which may be accompanied by dysmenorrhea.
(5) Emotional and moral changes: Patients often suffer from emotional and moral disorders or irritability, which is aggravated by anger, mental stress or exertion.
Staging of the degree of mammary gland hyperplasia
There are many patients who suffer from mammary gland hyperplasia and do not know whether it is serious or not, and the doctor just says mammary gland hyperplasia after examination. Women who suffer from mastocytosis may not know much about mastocytosis, let alone the extent of their mastocytosis. Most patients are told by their doctor after a hospital checkup that they have mastocytosis and either prescribe some medicine or leave it at that, why? Because, around 2010, doctors are at their wits’ end with regard to breast enlargement, otherwise there would not be so many breast enlargement patients. The following is a staging of the degree of mastocytosis for patients to self-diagnose its severity.
I. Lobular hyperplasia (stage I mastopexy): It is the initial hyperplasia of the breast, mostly occurring at the age of 25-35, with lighter symptom performance, and belongs to stage I mastopexy. It accounts for more than 70% of the prevalence of mammary hyperplasia, and is often not taken seriously and not actively treated and allowed to develop.
Second, mammary adenopathy (ductal dilatation, stage II mammary hyperplasia): is the further development of initial mammary hyperplasia, from lobular hyperplasia to ductal dilatation, called mammary adenopathy, mostly occurring in 30-45 years old, with serious symptoms, belonging to stage II mammary hyperplasia. It is easy to attract attention, often difficult to cure, and prolonged treatment causes mental depression, leading to aggravation of symptoms. Severe endocrine disorders lead to a series of disease symptoms in the body, such as menstrual disorders, insomnia and dreaminess, dark complexion and other series of reactions.
Third, cystic hyperplasia (breast duct dilation combined with epithelial hyperplasia, stage III breast hyperplasia): is the further development of stage II breast hyperplasia, mostly occurs in the age of 40-55, the symptoms are very serious, belong to the stage III breast hyperplasia. The malignancy rate of stage III hyperplasia is over 70%, so active treatment and regular checkups are essential. Stage III hyperplasia often brings mental depression and fear to patients.
IV. Cystic breast disease (stage IV hyperplasia): The ductal cells and epithelial cells of the breast accumulate and die, forming cystic lumps, with a cancer rate of over 90%.
V. Breast cancer (stage V breast hyperplasia): mostly developed further from cystic hyperplasia and cysts. The only early treatment for breast cancer is surgery, and breast conservation or not is the choice of surgery. The chance of stage I and II breast enlargement developing into breast cancer is 1-3%. Any breast enlargement suffering from breast cancer must be treated in time and cannot develop in term.
Diagnostic points
1.Breast swelling and pain: the degree varies, the lighter ones are not bothered by the patient, the heavier ones can affect work and life. The swelling and pain is characterized by a cyclical nature, occurring frequently or worsening in the premenstrual period.
2, breast lumps: often multiple, visible on one side, but also on both sides; can be limited to a part of the breast, but also can be scattered throughout the breast.
In addition, a few patients may have nipple overflow, yellow-green, brown or blood-colored, and occasionally colorless plasma.
3.Auxiliary examinations.
1.B ultrasound examination: It has become a more common clinical examination means because of its convenient, economic, non-invasive and painless advantages. With the development of ultrasound imaging, the application of high-frequency ultrasound has greatly improved the resolution of ultrasound, which can detect microscopic lesions in the breast, especially for the identification of cystic and solid tumors, which is difficult to be replaced by other imaging.
2.Mammography: Mammography is an important means to detect early cancer and microscopic cancer, but it is unnecessary to repeatedly examine them within a short period of time, especially the breast during puberty and pregnancy and lactation is sensitive to X-rays, and over-exposure will increase the incidence of breast cancer. Generally, mammography should be performed at least once before the age of 30, every 2-3 years between the ages of 30 and 40, and once every 1-2 years after the age of 40. The examination of microcalcifications is incomparable to other imaging examinations.
3, breast MRI: breast MRI has high sensitivity and medium specificity. Because of its relatively high price, long examination time and relatively small and confined space, it was not popular in 2010. It has great advantages for microscopic breast cancer that is negative by mammography plus ultrasound, postoperative review, examination of breast implants or breast augmentation by injection, nipple overflow, and screening of high-risk groups.
For clinical examination of breast diseases around 2010, mammography + ultrasound is the golden combination. When the combined application of mammography and ultrasound is negative, the possibility of malignancy is less than 3%.
Differential diagnosis.
1. Difference between mastopathy and mammary fibroadenoma
Both can be seen as breast lumps, single or multiple, with a firm texture. Most breast lumps in mastocytosis are bilateral and multiple, varying in size, nodular, lumpy or granular, generally soft, but also hard and firm, occasionally unilateral and solitary, but mostly accompanied by premenstrual breast swelling and pain when touched, and the size and nature of the breast lumps may change periodically with menstruation, and the age of onset is mostly young and middle-aged.
Most breast lumps in mammary fibroadenoma are unilateral, round or ovoid, with clear borders, high mobility, and generally firm texture, but there are also multiple cases, but there is usually no breast swelling and pain, or only mild menstrual breast discomfort and no tenderness. In addition, on mammograms, breast fibroadenomas often appear as round or oval shadows of uniform density and their characteristic ring-shaped transparent halo, which can be an important basis for differential diagnosis.
2. Difference between mastocytosis and breast cancer
Both of them can be seen as breast lumps. However, breast lumps in mastopathy are generally soft or moderately hard in texture, mostly bilateral and of different sizes, and may be nodular, lumpy or granular in shape.
Breast lumps are usually hard, some are as hard as stone, most of them are unilateral, round, oval or irregular in shape, and can grow to a large size, with poor mobility and easy adhesion to the skin and surrounding tissues. In addition, on the mammogram of breast, breast cancer often appears as lump shadow, tiny calcified dots, abnormal vascular shadow and burr, which can also help in the diagnosis. Mass needle aspiration of breast cancer can find heterotypic cells. The final diagnosis needs to be based on the histopathological examination results.
Disease Treatment
Western medical treatment
Since there is no exact understanding of the mechanism and cause of mammary gland hyperplasia, treatment around 2010 is basically symptomatic. Some patients often resolve on their own after a few months to one to two years after the onset of the disease, and most of them do not need treatment. For patients with more obvious symptoms and extensive lesions, a bra can be used to hold up the breast; oral administration of Xiaojin Dan, Xiao Yao San, or 5% potassium iodide can relieve the symptoms. 2010 or so, there are more similar drug products, such as breast lump elimination, breast fetish elimination, aspartame tablets, flat elimination tablets, sac fetish spirit, triamcinolone, etc., with different treatment effects.
In addition, there are still hormone therapy, some people use androgens to treat this disease, in order to inhibit the effect of estrogen, soften the nodules and reduce the symptoms; however, this treatment may aggravate the imbalance between human hormones, and should not be routinely applied. It should only be considered when the symptoms are severe and affect normal work and life.
Traditional Chinese medicine
According to Chinese medicine, the causes of this disease are mostly related to the dysfunction of the internal organs and the loss of harmony between qi and blood, and the liver and spleen are responsible for the lesions of the internal organs, especially those with weak spleen and earth, or those who eat too much spicy, fatty, sweet and thick food, which damage the spleen and earth, resulting in the malfunction of the spleen and earth in transporting and transforming the dampness into phlegm, or those who are born with an introverted personality, depressed emotions, sulking or impatient temperament, easy to get angry when moving, or those who are injured by the seven emotions and overly worried, resulting in the loss of drainage of the liver, resulting in phlegm from depression, etc., can cause phlegm and dampness to accumulate, stagnate qi and blood and form lumps
1. Dredge the liver and regulate the qi, and smooth the qi flow.
The nipple breasts and liver meridian circulation, women with liver as the innate, liver collects blood, the main drainage, body Yin and Yang, easy to Fries depression. Breast fetish, every more depressed temperament, worried or anxious and irritable, chest tightness belching, and breast pain and lump size changes, but also more emotional changes related. Liver depression and qi stagnation have an important influence on the pathogenesis of mastopathy. If the seven emotions are not smooth, the liver loses its control, and the painful lump is caused by liver depression and qi stagnation in the intestine, so the main principle of treating breast fetish is to dredge the liver and regulate the qi, and to smooth the qi flow.
2.Activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, dredge the breast complex.
Breast pain and lumps are the main symptoms, both of which are characteristic manifestations of blood stasis. If you are depressed, you will suffer from liver qi disorder and qi blockage, which will lead to poor blood flow, unfavorable menstrual tunnel, inability to fill the uterus, inability to overflow the breast, blockage of the breast complex, stagnation of qi and blood stasis, clotting of lumps, and pain if you do not pass. Before menstruation, the blood is full and the swelling and pain in the breast is aggravated, after menstruation, the qi and blood are drained and the swelling and pain is reduced. It can be seen that blood stasis is inevitable in breast fetish, so the treatment must pay attention to activating blood stasis and unblocking the breast.
3.Clear phlegm and soften firmness, eliminate swelling and disperse knots.
The spleen is injured by thoughts or the liver is depressed and stagnant, and the spleen and the earth are inverse to each other. If you can’t warm the spleen and Yang, the essence can’t be transported and transformed, and dampness becomes phlegm, and liver depression for a long time, heat turns into fire, and burns the fluid into phlegm, and phlegm, gas, and stasis are intertwined and become mastopathy. Therefore, phlegm coagulation has a certain influence on the pathogenesis of mastopathy, softening phlegm, eliminating swelling and dispersing nodules can promote the swelling and pain to dissipate invisibly.
Treatment suggestions
Treatment should be under the guidance of a doctor. Western medicine includes 5% potassium iodide, and for severe pain, methyltestosterone can be tried and started orally within one week before menstruation to avoid further disturbance of the fine balance between human hormones.
Chinese medicine or prescriptions can also be used under the guidance of Chinese medicine diagnosis to treat.
1. For liver qi stagnation type, it is advisable to dredge liver qi, dissolve phlegm and disperse knots. It can be taken in the form of Prosperity Pill, Xiaojin Tablet, Lactation Pill, Rhinoceros Yellow Pill, etc.
2, belongs to the liver and kidney Yin deficiency type, it is appropriate to tonify the liver and kidney, resolve phlegm and disperse knots. You can take Liu Wei Di Huang Wan, Er Zhi Wan, and at the same time use Xiao Jin Dan.
3. For the type of dysregulation of the flushes, it is recommended to regulate the flushes and warm the kidneys and calm the liver. Take Xiaojin Dan and Dispersing Knot Spirit.
Disease Prevention
Method 1: Learn to self-examine
Self-examination plays a decisive role in the detection of breast diseases, and it is especially important for women to know some knowledge of breast self-examination. The following four simple steps can facilitate self-examination for women.
Look: face the mirror with both hands down and carefully observe whether the size of the breast is symmetrical on both sides, whether there are abnormal protrusions, whether there are depressions or eczema on the skin and nipples.
Touch: Lift your left hand to the back of your head and check your left breast with your right hand, using the belly of your finger to lightly press your breast and feel if there is a hard lump.
Lie down: Lie down with a pillow under your right shoulder, bend your right hand under your head, repeat the “touch” method, and check the right breast.
Twist: In addition to the breast, check the armpit for lymphatic enlargement, and finally twist the nipple with the thumb and forefinger to note any abnormal discharge.
Method 2: Stay away from supplements
In 2010, many women who love beauty are worried about their “premature death of youth” and often take some female health care products, especially after entering menopause, insomnia, nervousness and other symptoms, more panic, and friends and relatives for the purpose of concern, but also often give them health care products as gifts. In fact, many women’s health products on the market around 2010, including many familiar well-known brands, contain a certain amount of estrogen, which is a “double-edged sword” that can indeed prolong women’s “adolescence”, but also brings about the proliferation of ductal epithelial cells in the breast, and even cancer.
Method 3: Say goodbye to “dink”
Many urban women are reluctant to have children because of the tight pace of work and keeping fit, also known as “dinky families”, which is a very bad phenomenon. This is a very bad thing because it is likely to deprive them of an opportunity to enhance their ability to fight breast cancer. A woman’s first full-term pregnancy can lead to a series of changes in the breast epithelium, making the epithelial cells more resistant to genetic mutations and producing a large amount of progesterone, which is useful for protecting breast health and is the “opposite” of estrogen, which makes breast tissue hyperplastic and progesterone comes out to “reduce swelling”. Therefore, although pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding are hard work, they not only bring women a lovely next generation, but also greatly enhance women’s ability to resist diseases, and the earlier this ability is acquired, the better it is for preventing breast cancer.
Disease Care
Treatment methods
1, psychological treatment is very important, mammary gland hyperplasia is more harmful to the human body than psychological damage, due to the lack of proper understanding of the disease, bad psychological factors excessive tension stimulation worry and sadness, resulting in neurasthenia, will aggravate endocrine disorders, prompting the aggravation of hyperplasia, so you should lift all kinds of bad psychological stimulation. People with poor psychological tolerance should pay more attention to less anger, maintain emotional stability, lively and cheerful mood that is conducive to early recovery from hyperplasia.
2, change the diet, to prevent obesity less fried food, animal fat, sweets and too much food, to eat more vegetables and fruits, eat more coarse grains. Black soybean is the best, eat more walnuts, black sesame, black fungus, mushrooms.
3, life should be regular, work and rest, to maintain a harmonious sex life. Can regulate endocrine disorders, keep the bowels will reduce breast swelling and pain, can play a role in the prevention of mastocytosis.
4, more exercise, to prevent obesity to improve immunity.
5, prohibit the abuse of birth control pills and estrogen-containing beauty products, do not eat estrogen-fed chicken, beef.
6, the prevention of mastocytosis also pay attention to avoid abortion, maternity more breastfeeding, can prevent the problem before it happens.
7, self-examination and regular re-examination.
8, a clear diagnosis, according to the condition of the development of a reasonable treatment plan. 2010 or so specialist using Chinese medicine comprehensive treatment, there has been a breakthrough, the effect is more significant. For example, breast cysts, regardless of size and duration, disappear in about 2 weeks after medication. For breast enlargement timely correction of endocrine, lumps, swelling and pain, facial nerve can be eliminated, for acute mastitis can be relieved of pain after the use of drugs.
9, proper selenium supplementation. Selenium, an indispensable trace element in the human body, has an extremely strong antioxidant capacity. Selenium can enhance the antioxidant capacity of cells, regulate endocrine and metabolism, remove toxins from the body, for the prevention of breast disease has a miraculous effect. But the harm of excessive selenium supplementation is not small, so take the body of selenium malt containing selenium chewable tablets, can be safe and effective selenium supplementation, without any toxic side effects, and will not overdose, is the first choice of female friends to prevent and control breast diseases.
Precautions
The secret to prevent breast enlargement and its deterioration is very simple, which is to eat alkaline food often to prevent the accumulation of acidic waste, because the acidified body fluid environment is a fertile soil for normal cells to become cancerous, and adjusting the acid-base balance of body fluid is an effective way to prevent cancer.
A. Develop good living habits, quit smoking and limit alcohol. Smoking, the World Health Organization predicts that if people all stop smoking, after 5 years, cancer in the world will be reduced by 1/3; secondly, do not abuse alcohol. Cigarettes and alcohol are extremely acidic acids, and long-term smoking and drinking are very likely to lead to an acidic body.
B. Don’t eat too much salty and spicy food, don’t eat food that is too hot, too cold, expired and spoiled; those who are old and weak or have genes of certain diseases should eat some cancer prevention food and alkaline food with high alkaline content as appropriate and keep a good mental state.
C. Have a good state of mind to cope with stress, combine work and rest, and do not overwork. It can be seen that stress is an important cause of cancer. According to Chinese medicine, stress leads to overwork and physical deficiency, thus causing a decrease in immune function, endocrine disorders and metabolic disorders in the body, resulting in the deposition of acid in the body; stress can also lead to mental tension causing qi stagnation and blood stagnation and internal trapping of toxic fire.
D, strengthen physical exercise, enhance physical fitness, more exercise in the sun, more sweating can be acidic substances in the body with sweat out of the body, to avoid the formation of acidic physique.
E. People with irregular living habits, such as singing karaoke all night, playing mahjong, staying out all night, etc., will aggravate the acidification of the body and make it easy to develop cancer. One should develop good living habits to maintain alkaline physique and keep various cancer diseases away from oneself.
F. Do not eat contaminated food, such as contaminated water, crops, poultry, fish and eggs, moldy food, etc. Eat some green and organic food to prevent diseases from entering by mouth.
G. Drink more alkaline mineral water containing some minerals.
