Fibroadenoma of the breast is one of the most worrying diseases for female friends. Its incidence rate is only second to breast hyperplasia. As a benign breast tumor, the key lies in prevention. The prevention of fibroadenoma of the breast mainly involves paying attention to diet and daily life. So, how to prevent breast fibroadenoma? Let's take a look at the content below.
Experts from Xi'an Breast Specialty Hospital introduce that although breast fibroadenoma belongs to a type of benign breast tumor and will not pose a threat to women's lives, due to its high incidence among women, it is still recommended that women can take preventive measures in advance to protect their breasts and achieve health. Breasts are very soft; they are prone to changes in external shape when subjected to external force compression, which can lead to sagging and drooping of the upper breasts. The internal soft tissues of the breast can easily be injured, causing hyperplasia, etc.
[How to Prevent Breast Fibroadenoma? You Can Start from the Following Aspects]
Firstly, bathing should be done correctly. Avoid using excessively cold or hot bath water to stimulate the breasts. The area around the breasts has dense microvessels, and being stimulated by overly hot or cold water is extremely detrimental. If you choose to sit in a bath or use a basin for bathing, you should avoid soaking in excessively hot or cold water for a long time, as this can cause the breast soft tissue to become loose and may also lead to dry skin.
Secondly, pay attention to your sleeping posture. For women, sleeping on your back is the best choice. Try not to lie on one side for a long time, as this can not only compress the breasts but also easily cause uneven development of both breasts. During intimate moments with your partner, try to avoid excessive pressure on the breasts from the male partner, as this can lead to internal ailments.
Thirdly, wear an appropriate bra. It can reduce possible damage to the breasts during intense exercise. However, the size of the bra is important. A bra that is too tight can restrict breast development and block local blood circulation, while a bra that is too loose does not serve its purpose. It is preferable to remove the bra while sleeping.
Lastly, control the level of estrogen in the body. In fact, the main culprit behind breast fibroadenoma is estrogen. Women with elevated estrogen levels are more likely to develop breast fibroadenoma. Factors such as worsening environmental pollution, increased consumption of off-season foods, meat products, and prolonged high-pressure states in life and work are all causes of breast fibroadenoma.
[Treatment for Breast Fibroadenoma: Combined Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Methods, Effective and Less Likely to Recur]
Western medicine believes that breast diseases are mainly caused by hormonal imbalances, so treatment should focus on regulating endocrine function. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) also pays attention to this relatively common disease, considering breast diseases within the scope of mammary disorders. The cause is liver and spleen injuries combined with phlegm and qi stagnation, leading to stasis and lump formation. In terms of treatment, TCM advocates focusing on unblocking meridians, regulating qi, and resolving stasis.
Xi'an Sanyin Hospital integrates the concepts of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, combining the essence of both to develop a unique three-in-one green therapy. Based on the theory of meridian pathways and corresponding treatments, it uses a combination of Chinese and Western formulations to regulate endocrine function, along with physical therapy, employing advanced color Doppler ultrasound machines and the latest computerized infrared detection and diagnostic equipment for comprehensive breast disease treatment.
The three-in-one green therapy has unique aspects in treating breast diseases. On the basis of Western medicine's symptomatic treatment, it combines traditional Chinese medicine's methods of soothing the liver, regulating qi, promoting blood circulation to resolve stasis, softening hard lumps, and harmonizing the Chong and Ren meridians, resulting in fewer side effects and persistent and stable therapeutic effects. For larger and harder lumps, comprehensive treatments like acupuncture, iontophoresis, and microwave physical therapies can be used. Some breast tumors may require surgery; after minimally invasive removal, internal regulation with Chinese medicine formulations can help reduce the risk of tumor recurrence.
