Ayurvedic remedies for the treatment of mastopathy

Question

Around 6 months ago, I noticed small lumps forming in my breasts. At first, they weren't painful and were quite small, but recently they've become larger and sore, especially around my menstrual cycle. My regular doctor checked it and said it's fibrocystic mastopathy. They gave me some painkillers and hormone tablets, but it only provided temporary relief and didn't solve the actual problem.
A friend of mine said Ayurveda can really help cure mastopathy naturally, so I started using Ashoka syrup and massaging with sesame oil. Initially, it did feel better, but after a few weeks, the soreness returned. Now, the lumps feel tender to touch, and they're uncomfortable when pressed. Sometimes it even disturbs my sleep because of discomfort.
I'm getting concerned because conventional treatments haven't really worked for me. Could you please advise me about effective Ayurvedic treatments for mastopathy? Are there any particular herbs or natural therapies you'd suggest specifically for treatment of mastopathy? I’d like to avoid strong medications and prefer something natural that can help permanently cure or significantly reduce the problem.

Hello Sneha,
Thanks for sharing your concern here. To create the right Ayurvedic treatment plan, I need to understand more about your symptoms , so please provide the following information. 
Are the lumps in one or both the breasts? Do they feel soft and fluid-filled or firm? Do they change in size during your menstrual cycle? Have you noticed nipple discharge, skin changes, or increased tenderness before your periods? 
Also, do you have irregular or painful periods, mood swings, or acne? 
Your diet is also important—do you consume a lot of dairy, caffeine, or processed foods? How is your digestion? Do you experience bloating, constipation, or acidity? Lifestyle factors like stress, sleep, and exercise also affect hormonal health.

Apart from Ashoka syrup and sesame oil massage, have you tried other treatments? Do you have a family history of breast conditions or hormonal imbalances? Have you taken any medications or undergone treatments especially hormonal therapy, that may have affected your hormones? 
How is your sleep and overall schedule, easy or hectic? Also, have you done Breast USG to check what kind of lumps or cysts these are?
Based on your answers, I can determine  the pathological dosha and cause of inflammation.  This will help me recommend the best Ayurvedic medicines , diet changes, and therapies to reduce lumps, balance hormones, and provide lasting relief.
