针灸治疗慢性乳腺炎临床应用及作用机理浅析

Brief Analysis about Clinical Application and Mechanism of Acupuncture Therapy in Treating Chronic Mastitis

摘要: 慢性乳腺炎临床发病率日渐增长，部分病例与乳腺癌有相似症状易被误诊。且对慢性乳腺炎发病机理的研究目前尚不明朗，临床上难以制定出强针对性的治疗方案，进而导致了部分病例的病情难见好转甚至趋向恶化。目前临床上治疗手段包括外科手术、抗生素、皮质类固醇药物等，但存在瘢痕严重、复发率高的问题，最佳治疗方式尚未统一。针灸对于慢性乳腺炎的治疗有独特优势，以辨证论治、标本兼治为指导思想，在治疗过程中可以显著改善上述弊端。本文以现有的针灸治疗手段为引，对针灸治疗慢性乳腺炎的现状和未来进行归纳总结、推广展望，以期提高针灸疗法在慢性乳腺炎治疗中的实际意义。

Abstract: The clinical incidence of chronic mastitis is increasing, and in some cases the symptoms are similar to the breast cancer, easily misdiagnosed. Moreover, the research on the pathogenesis of chronic mastitis is still unclear, and it is difficult to develop a highly targeted treatment program in clinical practice, which leads to the difficulty in improving or even worsening the condition of some cases. At present, clinical treatment methods include surgery, antibiotics, corticosteroids, etc., but there are problems such as severe scar and high recurrence rate, and the best treatment method has not been unified. Acupuncture has unique advantages in the treatment of chronic mastitis. The disadvantages can be significantly improved in the treatment process with the guidance of syndrome differentiation and treatment of both symptoms and root causes. In this paper, the current situation and future of acupuncture in the treatment of chronic mastitis are summarized and promoted in order to improve the practical significance of acupuncture in the treatment of chronic mastitis.
