At present, there is no practicable treatment method for this disease in western medicine, mainly using hormone antagonism treatment and surgical removal, but surgical removal is easy to leave echidna scars, which affects the aesthetics and is easy to recur. At present, surgery is not used, except for the oversized breasts, obvious swelling and pain, which even cause mental anxiety to the patients, and medication is ineffective, and the patients insist on the excision surgery, otherwise, surgery is not generally advocated. In addition, gynecomastia, due to the complexity of the etiology, different causes have different treatments. Adolescent patients with primary gynecomastia have a tendency to heal themselves, and generally return to normal within six months.
Adults and older adults with primary gynecomastia are less likely to recover spontaneously and should be treated aggressively. Secondary gynecomastia is often associated with other diseases; therefore, treating the cause is an important measure. Over the years, our hospital has accumulated rich clinical experience in the treatment of this disease by adopting traditional Chinese medicine without surgery. In the treatment, according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, according to the dialectical treatment of different clinical manifestations, we adopt tonifying the liver and kidney, in order to regulate the function of the hypothalamus - pituitary - testicular axis, and at the same time, restore the function of the liver, strengthen the inactivation of the excess estrogen, promote the metabolism, improve the circulation of qi and blood, so as to achieve the preservation of the liver and benefit of the kidney, rationally regulate the endocrine system, make the body to protect the liver and benefit the kidney, and reasonably regulate the endocrine system. In addition, it can reasonably regulate the endocrine secretion and keep the hormone level in the body in relative balance; from the pharmacological research, Chinese medicine is free from the side effects of many western medicines and hormone drugs, and the therapeutic effect is also very remarkable. At the same time, the onset of this disease has a certain relationship with emotions. Therefore, in the treatment to regulate emotions, maintain a happy mood, avoid anger and worry, pay attention to the combination of work and rest is very important, usually should quit smoking and alcohol, diet should not over-eating greasy and spicy products. During the period of illness, we should be more relaxed, have confidence in the treatment of the disease, adhere to the necessary physical and functional exercise, pay attention to local breast hygiene, prevent nipple and skin breakage in order to prevent co-infection.
