डॉक्टरों की प्रतिक्रियाएं
Hlo,
Hv u noticed any increase in size? Or pain worsen during or before periods?
Based on your description, breast cancer is less likely because: Present for many years Occurs in both breasts Multiple lumps Started at a young age However, any lump that is hard and slowly increasing in size should be evaluated, even if the risk is low.
Investigation must be done-
- Breast ultrasound (especially important for younger women) - Mammogram

Hello.
Like you have just given history of lump since 22 years and nothing detail about your age, mensural history, pregnancy history it would be difficult to land to a perfect diagnosis.
Would suggest you to get a mammography done to detect any king of carcinoma in the earliest stages
Till than
Avoid eating red meat. Warm fomentation with cloth
💊Medication💊
Tab. Kanchanar Guggul 2 tabs twice a day before food. Apply a lep of this same tablet twice a day.
You have reported multiple, hard lumps in both breasts, present for the last 22 years, associated with pain and burning sensation.
The fact that the lumps are bilateral, multiple, and long-standing makes an acute malignant condition less likely, but a proper evaluation is still essential before reaching any conclusion.
At present, important details such as your age, menstrual history, marital and pregnancy history, lactation history, and family history of breast disease are not available. Without this information, it is not possible to arrive at a definitive diagnosis.
Based on the symptoms described, the condition may be suggestive of benign breast disorders such as: Fibrocystic breast disease Fibroadenosis Hormonal-related mastalgia.
However, imaging investigations are necessary to rule out any underlying pathology and to detect changes at the earliest stage, if present.
Investigations advised Bilateral breast ultrasound Mammography
Advice until evaluation Avoid red meat Avoid excess caffeine (tea, coffee, soft drinks) Do warm fomentation with a clean cloth over the breasts Wear a well-supporting, comfortable bra
💊 Medication Tab. Kanchanar Guggul 2 tablets twice daily before food The same tablet may be powdered and applied locally as a lep twice daily
If you notice rapid increase in size, skin changes, nipple discharge, or sudden worsening of pain, please seek gynacological consultation immediately.
Hello Thanks for opening up about what you’re going through. Dealing with hard, painful breast lumps for over 20 years is no small thing. I get why you’d feel anxious. The good news? Most breast lumps that stick around this long—especially when they show up on both sides—are usually benign. With proper checks and the right treatment, they’re often manageable.
Looking at your history— - Lumps in both breasts - Hard, multiple lumps - Burning and pain - Slow changes over many years
AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING
This fits what Ayurveda calls Granthi or Arbuda-praya Stana Roga. In modern terms, it lines up with things like: - Fibrocystic breast disease - Fibroadenosis - Benign breast lumps related to hormones
Ayurveda says these kinds of lumps usually show up when Kapha and Vata get aggravated, causing hardness and those nodular changes. If Pitta gets involved, you feel burning and pain. There’s also a connection with deeper tissue imbalances (dhatu dushti), long-term hormone swings, and sluggish lymph drainage.
Now, because your lumps have been there for so long and on both sides, cancer isn’t likely. Still, we can’t just assume—let’s be sure.
What you must do next: - Get a breast ultrasound or mammography (depends on your age) - FNAC or biopsy if your surgeon suggests it - Hormonal tests (if your periods are irregular) - Thyroid profile (since thyroid issues are common here)
Don’t skip these. They confirm what we’re dealing with and help us plan treatment safely.
AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT
1. Shodhana (Purification, if you’re suited for it) Only under expert supervision: - Virechana (especially if Pitta-Kapha are high) - Lekhana basti (in some cases) This approach helps when lumps keep coming back or don’t go away.
2. Shamana Chikitsa (Internal Medicines)
- Kanchanara Guggulu 1-0-1 after food Shrinks glandular swellings and clears lymph congestion
- Triphala Guggulu 1-0-1 after food Reduces swelling and hardness
- Guduchi capsule 1-0-1 after food Purifies blood, eases burning
Just a heads-up: these treatments take time. You’ll need to stick with them for at least 3 to 6 months.
EXTERNAL CARE
- Yuvatyadi taila—gently massage on the affected area - Warm fomentation—especially if pain flares up before your period
Diet and Lifestyle—This Matters
Avoid: - Too much tea or coffee - Fried, bakery, or processed stuff - Heavy dairy or cheese - Late nights, stress
Instead, try: - Warm, fresh meals - Plenty of green veggies—lauki, pumpkin, leafy greens work well - Turmeric, cumin, coriander in your cooking - Keep your bowels regular (this makes more difference than you might think)
- Most long-standing lumps in both breasts turn out to be benign and manageable - Ayurveda helps with pain, burning, and reducing lumps - You’ll need regular check-ups
Please don’t panic. With the right investigations and a structured Ayurvedic approach, you can manage this condition well and live comfortably.
Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate
In Ayurveda such long standing lumps are usually related to Vata Kapha and Meda Dhatu imbalance with obstruction of channels and accumulation of toxins over years
This is often referred to as a type of fibrocystic breast change or benign nodular condition in modern medicine which is different from breast cancer but needs careful evaluation because any long standing breast lump should always be examined clinically and sometimes with imaging like ultrasound or mammography to rule out serious conditions
The burning sensation and pain indicate aggravation of Pitta and Vata in the breast tissue while hardness and multiple nodules indicate Kapha and Meda stagnation causing obstruction and accumulation over time
Lifestyle and dietary factors play a major role in aggravation of these symptoms especially irregular meals excessive sweets fried food stress late nights lack of exercise and hormonal imbalance
From an Ayurvedic management perspective the approach focuses on gentle detoxification balancing Doshas improving circulation reducing Kapha and Meda stagnation and supporting Dhatu nourishment
Externally gentle massage with warm medicated oils like Tila or medicated Ghrita under supervision can improve circulation and reduce stiffness
Internal medicines that can be considered after consultation are Chitrakadi Vati 1–2 tablets twice daily after food to improve tissue metabolism and Agni Kanchanara Guggulu 1 tablet twice daily after food to reduce stagnation and swelling
You should not ignore these lumps and I strongly advise you to consult a qualified physician or breast specialist immediately for clinical examination and imaging to rule out any serious pathology
Along with medical evaluation lifestyle modifications are very important
Avoid cold drinks sweets fried foods excess dairy and heavy Kapha increasing foods
Include fresh vegetables fruits whole grains and light protein
Moderate exercise and stress management techniques like Pranayama or gentle yoga help balance Vata and Pitta and improve circulation
Consistent internal Ayurvedic care along with lifestyle correction and medical monitoring will help reduce pain improve circulation and support long term tissue health
HELLO,
You have multiple hard lumps in both breasts present for around 22 years. They cause burning sensation, moderate pain, and some swelling, and you have noticed a slight increase in size over time.
WHAT IT MEANS? • Because the lumps are present for many years • Are present in both breasts • Are multiple • And the pain is moderate, not severe
This strongly suggests a non-cancerous condition, most commonly similar to fibrocystic breast disease or fibroadenoma from a modern medical view.
However, any breast lump no matter how old must always be evaluated with proper investigations to be 100% safe.
Ayurvedic View In Ayurveda, this condition is called “Stana Granthi”.
What is Granthi? • Granthi means a knot or lump • It forms when Kapha dosha causes hardness and mass • Vata dosha causes pain and chronicity • Pitta dosha causes burning and mild inflammation So this condition is mainly: Vata-Kapha dominant Granthi with mild Pitta involvement
Why did it happen? Root causes : • Long-standing hormonal imbalance • Excess Kapha-increasing foods =heavy, oily, dairy, cold foods • Suppressed emotions, stress • Poor digestion = Mandagni • Improper elimination of toxins =Ama accumulation Over years, these factors lead to blockage of channels in breast tissue, forming lumps.
Treatment Goals Ayurvedic treatment is not only to reduce lumps, but to: 1. Reduce hardness and size of lumps 2. Relieve pain and burning 3. Improve circulation and drainage 4. Correct hormonal imbalance 5. Prevent further growth 6. Prevent recurrence 7. Improve overall tissue health

Hard, multiple breast lumps present for 22 years, with burning, pain, and swelling are not typical simple conditions. In modern medicine, such lumps could be fibroadenosis, fibrocystic disease, lipomas, or even breast tumors (benign or malignant). Because the lumps are long-standing, painful, and increasing in size, it is essential that you consult a qualified physician (preferably a Gynecologist) for clinical examination, imaging (ultrasound/mammogram), and biopsy if needed.
1.Kanchnar guggulu 2 tab twice daily with water after meals 2.Shatavari capsules 2 cap twice daily with warm milk after meals 3.Triphala churna 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water 4.Kumaryasava 20 ml with 20 ml water twice daily after meals 5.Khadirarishta 15 ml with 15 ml water twice daily after meals
🧘 Lifestyle & Diet Tips - Avoid: Spicy, oily, fried foods, red meat, alcohol, and excess dairy. - Favor: Fresh fruits (pomegranate, apple, papaya), boiled vegetables, whole grains, and cooling foods like cucumber and coconut water. - Hydration: Drink lukewarm water; avoid ice-cold drinks. - Stress relief: Yoga (Shavasana, Anulom-Vilom) and meditation to reduce anxiety. - Local care: Gentle application of neem oil or castor oil externally may help reduce burning and swelling
Adv: Perform breast massage once or twice daily

आपने जो बताया है उसके अनुसार, कई सालों से दोनों स्तनों में दर्द और जलन के साथ कठोर गांठें हैं। आमतौर पर यह स्थिति सौम्य होती है और हार्मोनल असंतुलन से जुड़ी होती है।
आयुर्वेद में इसे कफ और पित्त दोष के साथ रक्त और मांस धातु की भागीदारी के रूप में देखा जाता है। यह अक्सर कैंसर नहीं होता, खासकर जब यह दोनों स्तनों में लंबे समय से मौजूद हो और दर्दनाक हो।
दर्द और जलन पित्त की भागीदारी को दर्शाते हैं और कई कठोर गांठें कफ के जमाव को दर्शाती हैं। इस तरह की स्थिति को आधुनिक शब्दों में फाइब्रोसिस्टिक परिवर्तन या फाइब्रोएडेनोसिस कहा जाता है और आयुर्वेद दर्द को नियंत्रित करने, जलन को कम करने और आगे बढ़ने से रोकने में मदद कर सकता है।
गांठों की प्रकृति की पुष्टि के लिए स्तन का अल्ट्रासाउंड या मैमोग्राफी कराएं। पुष्टि के बाद आयुर्वेदिक उपचार शुरू किया जा सकता है।
एक बार जब गंभीर स्थिति को खारिज कर दिया जाए, तो आप शुरू कर सकते हैं:
कांचनार गुग्गुलु - एक गोली दिन में दो बार खाने के बाद गुनगुने पानी के साथ।
त्रिफला गुग्गुलु - एक गोली दिन में दो बार खाने के बाद।
आरोग्यवर्धिनी वटी - एक गोली रोजाना नाश्ते के बाद।
रात में बिना जोर से मालिश किए अरंडी का तेल स्तन क्षेत्र पर लगाएं और सुबह धो लें।
चाय, कॉफी, चॉकलेट, तले हुए खाद्य पदार्थ, बेकरी आइटम और अधिक डेयरी से बचें। आरामदायक सहायक ब्रा पहनें।
हरी सब्जियाँ, फल और गर्म ताजा भोजन शामिल करें। तनाव को प्रबंधित करें और समय पर सोएं।
यह एक पुरानी स्थिति है और नियमित उपचार के साथ सुधार धीरे-धीरे होता है। दर्द और जलन आमतौर पर पहले कम होते हैं और गांठें समय के साथ नरम हो सकती हैं। जांच को नजरअंदाज न करें लेकिन डरें नहीं, सही पुष्टि और लगातार आयुर्वेदिक देखभाल के साथ इस स्थिति को सुरक्षित रूप से प्रबंधित किया जा सकता है।
Most likely possibilities can be fibrocystic changes, fibroadenomas, phyllodes tumor or breast cancer or malignant transformation.
See a Breast Surgeon / Surgical Oncologist TODAY or within 1–2 days
Required tests: Bilateral breast ultrasound + mammography (if >40 yrs or suspicious)
FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) or Core Needle Biopsy of the largest/most painful lump
If needed: MRI breast or excisional biopsy
Do NOT Massage, squeeze or apply any cream/oil on lumps (can spread if malignant)
Ayurvedic Support (ONLY after confirmed benign diagnosis & doctor clearance) 1 Kanchanar Guggulu – 2 tablets twice daily after food 2 Varunadi Kashayam – 15 ml + 45 ml warm water morning empty stomach 3 Triphala Guggulu – 1–2 tablets twice daily 4 Warm castor oil pack on breasts 15 min nightly (soothes, no pressure on lumps)
Go for ultrasound + biopsy urgently, early diagnosis saves life if anything serious.
