How to Remove Breast Lumps

A breast lump is a common breast issue, and common removal methods include:

1. Benign lumps, such as fibroadenomas or cystic hyperplasia, can initially be managed through observation and follow-up with regular re-examinations. If the lump is large or causes significant symptoms, surgical removal may be considered.

2. If the lump is caused by milk stasis, for example during lactation, you can apply a warm towel compress to the breast and then gently massage in a clockwise direction to promote blood circulation and help expel the accumulated milk.

3. For lumps caused by mammary hyperplasia or mastitis, some symptomatic blood-activating and stasis-resolving traditional Chinese medicines can be used, such as Rupixiao Capsules or Xiaoyao Pills. For lumps caused by mastitis, antibiotics like Minocycline Hydrochloride Capsules can also be used for anti-inflammatory purposes.

4. Lumps caused by breast cysts or tumors require surgical treatment. Surgical options include conventional open surgery and ultrasound-guided minimally invasive vacuum-assisted excision. If the lump is malignant, in addition to surgery, adjuvant treatments such as chemotherapy, hormone therapy, or targeted drug therapy may be required.

The removal of breast lumps should be conducted under the guidance of a professional physician, and timely medical consultation is recommended.
