Can ice be applied for breast pain?
Breast pain can be treated with ice packs, but the effect is generally not good. Breast pain is generally considered to be related to mammary gland hyperplasia. We can treat it with traditional Chinese medicine. The pain can be alleviated by using methods to soothe the liver, regulate qi, and harmonize the Chong and Ren meridians. Endocrine treatment can also be used, preferably avoided, but can be considered prior to menstruation in cases where the pain is significantly severe in the premenopausal period. When undergoing endocrine treatment, it is necessary to regularly re-examine the pelvic ultrasound because endocrine therapy can increase the risk of endometrial cancer. Vitamin treatment can also be used. Vitamins B, C, E, etc., have functions such as improving liver function, regulating basal metabolism, and improving autonomic nervous functions, and can be used as an auxiliary treatment for this condition. Vitamin E also has pain-relieving effects. In cases with a family history of breast cancer, where the lesions are limited to a part of the breast, and if there is a noticeable lump after menstruation, a biopsy should be performed, and surgical treatment may be necessary if needed. (The use of medications should be under the guidance of a physician.)
