For treating breast lumps, choose the authoritative treatment plan from the Breast Diagnosis and Treatment Center of Xi'an Sanqin Hospital: the three-in-one green therapy.
The three-in-one green therapy has unique advantages in treating breast diseases. Based on Western medicine's symptomatic treatment, it combines traditional Chinese medicine’s methods of soothing the liver, regulating qi, activating blood circulation, resolving stasis, softening hardness, dispersing nodules, and regulating Chong and Ren meridians, with fewer side effects and long-lasting stable therapeutic effects. For overly large and hard masses, comprehensive treatments like acupuncture, iontophoresis, and microwave physical therapies can be used.
