Herbal Ointment Massage Combined with Auricular Apex Bloodletting for Pain Management in Mammary Gland Hyperplasia: A Traditional Chinese Medicine Nursing Case Report
This report investigates the therapeutic efficacy of herbal ointment massage combined with auricular apex bloodletting for pain management in mammary gland hyperplasia patients with liver stagnation and phlegm coagulation pattern. A 38-year-old female patient received a two-week TCM-specific nursing protocol, comprising biweekly herbal ointment massage and weekly auricular apex bloodletting, supplemented with emotional regulation guidance and dietary counseling. Results demonstrated that the combined intervention effectively alleviated mammary hyperplasia-related pain, with the mechanism potentially linked to local microcirculation modulation and inflammatory factor reduction. The protocol exhibited operational safety and high patient compliance, providing empirical support for the standardization of TCM nursing pathways in mammary disorders.
