Non-lactation mastitis is a group of chronic non-bacterial inflammatory diseases occurring in the breast

with breast lumps

abscess

sinus tract and fistula as its main manifestations. It relapses and is difficult to heal. According to the three different stages of the disease

namely the initial stage

the purulent stage and the ulceration stage

the internal treatment method of TCM surgery establishes three treatment principles of elimination

supporting and tonification

among which the supporting method is the most representative characteristic therapy. Half-yin and half-yang syndrome is the most common type. In terms of treatment

clearing and elimination are mainly used for yang syndrome and warming method is mainly used for yin syndrome

and supporting method is more appropriate for half-yin and half-yang syndrome. The specific application of the supporting method in non-lactation mastitis is discussed in this article from the perspective of clearing-supporting method to outthrust the pathogens

supporting the interior to bring out the pus and to generate fleshes

in combination with other methods. According to the theory of the supporting method for non-lactation mastitis and based on disease differentiation and syndrome differentiation

the "No. 2 formula"

used for the purulent stage and the ulceration stage

is introduced in terms of its specific drug use in combination with clinical cases.
