Methods for reducing swelling in acute mastitis
Methods for reducing swelling in acute mastitis: First, determine whether the acute mastitis is caused by milk stasis or by bacterial invasion and decreased immune resistance. If it is simply due to milk stasis, nursing can still be continued if the symptoms are mild and the lesion is not severe. However, the affected breast should not be used for nursing, and a breast pump can be used to extract the milk. If the condition is caused by bacteria, it is recommended to apply local moist heat. Penicillin and other saline can be injected around the inflammation. Systemic antibiotics, such as penicillin or cephalosporins, can be used. However, since antibiotics can be secreted into the milk and affect the infant, the use of tetracyclines, aminoglycosides, and sulfa drugs should be avoided.
How to regulate mammary gland hyperplasia
For symptoms that are not severe or are mild, most do not require treatment, but regular re-examination of breast ultrasonography or mammography is necessary. For more pronounced symptoms, medication and symptomatic treatment can be used as follows: Bras can be used to support the breasts, and traditional Chinese medicine can be used to treat breast hyperplasia by smoothing the liver, regulating Qi, and harmonizing the Conception and Governing Vessels. Endocrine treatment can also be used, though it should be avoided as much as possible. However, for premenopausal women with severe pain, it can be taken before the onset of menstruation. When undergoing endocrine treatment, regular pelvic ultrasound examinations are required, as endocrine treatment may increase the risk of endometrial cancer. Vitamin treatment, such as with Vitamins B, C, and E, can improve liver function, regulate sex hormone metabolism, and enhance autonomic nervous function, and can be used as an adjunctive therapy for this condition.
Can hyperplasia eat bamboo shoots?
People with hyperplasia of mammary glands can eat bamboo shoots. Foods rich in cellulose and vitamins can be consumed more often, although their mechanisms are not yet clear. However, it has been confirmed that cellulose can inhibit both breast cancer and colon cancer. Vitamin A also plays a role in protecting the mammary glands. It is advisable to reduce the intake of fats and high-calorie diets. Most epidemiological studies show that weight gain is associated with breast cancer, especially after menopause. Alcohol consumption should be limited as it is reported that it may increase estrogen levels in the body, leading to an increased risk of breast cancer in women. Regular breast ultrasound and mammography are needed for fibrocystic breast disease.
Clinical manifestations of breast cancer
The clinical manifestations of breast cancer mostly present as painless lumps in the breast. Many early-stage breast lumps are found during physical examinations or screenings. Lumps commonly develop in the upper outer quadrant and are typically solitary on one side, though occasionally there are multiple lumps, or they may appear bilaterally. The size of the clinically observed lumps varies, with diameters of up to 5 centimeters being common. Generally, the lumps are hard in consistency, have unclear boundaries, and are not easily movable within the breast. Sometimes, the nipple may be inverted and there may be bloody discharge. Enlarged lymph nodes may also be present under the armpit.
Can I drink dandelion for breast distension and pain?
Breast distention pain can be treated with dandelion, but the effect is not significant. This is because there is a clear relationship between breast distention pain and breast hyperplasia. Generally, we can treat it with traditional Chinese medicine. By soothing the liver and regulating Qi, and harmonizing Chong and Ren meridians, we can relieve the distention pain. Endocrine treatment can also be used, preferably avoided, but it can be administered before menstruation when the pain is very noticeable in the pre-menopausal period, because endocrine treatment can increase the risk of endometrial cancer, therefore regular pelvic ultrasound examinations are necessary. Vitamin therapy can also be used. Vitamins B, C, and E improve liver function, regulate sex hormone metabolism, and improve autonomic nervous function, and can be used as adjunctive medication for this condition. Vitamin E also has a pain-relieving effect.
What's going on with breast swelling, pain, nausea, and vomiting?
Generally considered related to breast hyperplasia. We can confirm the diagnosis through breast ultrasound or mammography, paying attention to exclude the possibility of pregnancy. Breast hyperplasia is characterized by cyclic swelling and pain of the breasts, often occurring or worsening before menstruation and reducing or disappearing after menstruation. Mild cases may go unnoticed by the patient, while severe cases can affect daily life and work. However, some patients do not show obvious cyclic changes, and symptoms might present as unilateral or bilateral breast pain or pinprick-like sensation, possibly extending to the shoulder, upper limbs, or the chest-back area. A few patients may experience nipple discharge. The condition can persist for a long time, but symptoms generally disappear or lessen after menopause. During physical examination, nodular lumps of varying sizes, firm but not hard, may be felt in one or both breasts, sometimes tender when touched.
What's causing breast swelling, pain, and dizziness?
Breast swelling and pain, dizziness, it may be caused by breast hyperplasia, which can be diagnosed through breast ultrasound or mammography. Breast hyperplasia is mainly related to endocrine disorders in the body, leading to increased levels of estrogen. When the hormone ratio in the body is unbalanced, estrogen levels increase and progesterone secretion decreases, it can lead to incomplete regression after breast hyperplasia, causing breast tissue proliferation. Therefore, the functional state of the ovaries and whether there is disorder play a very important role in the development of the disease. Additionally, it might be related to differences in the quantity and quality of estrogen receptors in the breast tissue, causing uneven levels of breast proliferation and leading to breast swelling.
What causes breast swelling, pain, and chills?
Generally, it is considered related to breast hyperplasia. We can diagnose it through breast ultrasound or mammography. Currently, breast hyperplasia is mainly thought to be related to an increase in estrogen levels caused by endocrine disorders. The external environment in which people live, work and living conditions, interpersonal relationships, and various other pressures causing neuro-psychological factors, can change the internal environment of the body, thereby affecting the function of the endocrine system, and then causing the secretion of one or several hormones to be abnormal. During the menstrual cycle, the receptors in the breast undergo cyclical changes due to changes in hormone levels. When the balance of hormone levels in the body is disrupted, with an increase in estrogen levels and a decrease in progesterone secretion, it may cause incomplete regression after breast hyperplasia, leading to the proliferation of breast tissue. Therefore, the functional state of the ovaries and the presence of disorders play a very important role in the development of the disease.
Does breast hyperplasia hurt?
The main symptom of mammary gland hyperplasia is breast pain, which usually occurs in accordance with the menstrual cycle. There is significant breast pain before the period, and symptoms tend to lessen after the period. Generally, the pain is intermittent, diffuse, dull, or like needle pricks. There can also be shooting pain or hidden pain, and even some report pain as if being cut by a knife. Some of the pain is subjective, but it can also manifest as pain upon touch, or pain from friction caused by clothing during walking. There can be tenderness in the breasts, or increased pain in the upper limbs after physical exertion. The pain may occur in one breast or both.
What are the symptoms of mammary gland hyperplasia?
The primary symptoms of mammary gland hyperplasia are breast swelling and pain, which typically affect both sides but are often more pronounced on one side. Breast swelling and pain are noticeably worse before menstruation and ease after the period ends, then gradually cease until the pain reappears with the next menstrual cycle. The entire breast may feel diffusely nodular and tender to touch, with occasional lumps or increased breast pain, all related to the menstrual cycle. Additionally, mammary gland hyperplasia may also involve a small amount of nipple discharge, primarily white or brown in color.
