Treatment of breast illness commonly used by Western medicine, there are hormones and iodine agents and other symptomatic treatment drugs. Traditional hormones preparation is mainly used to combat male hormone estrogen, such as the menstrual period 10 days before the oral methyl testosterone-day, every 5 to 15 mg, served by the former stops, each treatment cycle total no more than 100 mg, or intramuscular testosterone propionate-3 ~ 4, 25 mg daily. Application of the male hormone treatment may be some side effects, if some masculine performance: more hair, deeper voice, acne, etc.; It may also have different degrees of liver damage, dizziness, nausea and other. After, people gradually recognized that the breast by illness is not simply to increase the secretion of estrogen, but because of estrogen and progesterone ratio imbalance, in particular the menstrual cycle in the luteal phase progesterone secretion inadequate, due to increased estrogen relative, so advocate the use of progesterone treatment of this disease, and to correct estrogen and progesterone secretion of imbalance in the two weeks before menstruation began, oral progesterone 7-8, 5 ~ 10 mg daily or weekly intramuscular injection of progesterone 2 times, 5 mg, 40 mg 20 to the total.

Estrogen can be taken nausea, vomiting, headache, and other side effects, some patients with anti-aggravating Therefore, this method should be under the guidance of doctors, master volume and degree.
In recent years, hormone treatment of this disease have some new progress. Because hormone receptor on the progress of a breakthrough, it was recognized that the incidence of breast disease of the breast tissue with estrogen and progesterone receptor content and the increased sensitivity, therefore, started using the hormone receptor antagonist treatment disease. Estrogen receptor antagonist such as tamoxifen can be competitive with estrogen for the estrogen receptor, estrogen can not play its biological effects of tamoxifen oral treatment, 2 to 3 times a day, every , 10 mg, can be achieved certain results. But taking tamoxifen will have certain side effects, such as amenorrhea, hot flashes, nausea, etc.. In addition, it is also recognized that endocrine disorder caused by the illness is not just breast ovarian endocrine hormone imbalance, but also by the hypothalamus, pituitary hormones, and other impacts, such as prolactin and other gonadotropin. Bromocriptine inhibited the use of prolactin secretion, and to treat the disease, a daily oral bromocriptine times, 1.25 to 5 mg, that the side effects of nausea, vomiting, dizziness, etc. of orthostatic hypotension the use of danazol inhibited gonadotropin secretion and ovarian hormones, could use its oral treatment of this disease, three times a day, each 100 mg, 1 ~ 6 treatment, side effects that amenorrhea, menstruation hill, weight gain, acne, etc..
Small doses of administering iodine may stimulate the secretion of pituitary LH, thereby inhibiting the secretion of estrogen, the hormone luteal phase correct the imbalance in the ratio, in order to meet the increasing ill treatment of breast purposes. Iodine compound formulations used iodine solution or 10% of the potassium iodide solution.
Other symptomatic treatment can be used analgesic drugs, such as diuretics. It will also take vitamin drugs.
