Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment for Fibrocystic Breast Condition


Fibrocystic Breast Condition is a medical problem in which the affected females, usually in the age group of 30 to 50, experience tender and painful nodules in the breasts.  Treatment with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medicines usually brings about temporal relief; however, there can be recurrences which can increase concerns and anxiety, especially related to doubts about malignancy.  Females affected with fibrocystic breast condition may require investigation to confirm the diagnosis and rule out the chances for malignant tumors.

Ayurvedic treatment is especially very useful and effective in the treatment of fibrocystic breast condition.  Ayurvedic medicines have a very strong anti-inflammatory action which reduces pain and tenderness and brings fast relief to affected individuals.  In addition, these medicines have a prolonged action which prevents recurrence. Further, these medicines also boost the immune power of individuals so that they feel refreshed, and obtain sufficient confidence to overcome the situation. Inflammation and pain can be controlled very well with Ayurvedic medicines, which have a non-specific action and therefore are not dependent on specific sensitivity to different bacteria.  Ayurvedic medicines can therefore work very well in the treatment of fibrocystic breast condition and are successful in completely eradicating the problem.  Further, the medicines are equally effective even if the condition is due to simple inflammation or due to some specific bacterial infection.

Depending upon the severity of the condition, affected females may require treatment from a few weeks to a few months.  However, most females report considerable relief from the condition within two to three weeks.  Reassurance is also important in the management of this condition, to maintain the morale of the affected females, so that they continue compliance to the medication and follow proper instructions related to treatment and the required investigations.  Most affected females do not require further therapy, once the symptoms have subsided completely.
