Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical effect of multimodality therapy based on fire needle in the treatment of nonpuerperal mastitis. Methods A total of 60 patients with nonpuerperal mastitis in the stage of abscess or the late stage of ulceration were randomly divided into treatment group and control group, with 30 patients in each group. The patients in the treatment group were given fire needle to remove abscess and decay, and those in the control group were given incision and drainage. Both groups were given oral No. 2 decoction for plasma-cell mastitis, and the course of treatment was 2 months. Treatment outcome was compared between the two groups. Results There was no significant difference in treatment outcome between the two groups (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, the treatment group had significant reductions in wound healing time and the ratio of scar diameter to the long-axis diameter of abscess (P<0.05). The treatment group had significant increases in breast appearance score and satisfaction score after treatment (P<0.05). Both groups had significant reductions in mass area and ulcer area after treatment (P<0.05), and the treatment group had a significantly greater reduction in ulcer area than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion In the treatment of nonpuerperal mastitis, multimodality therapy based on fire needle has a good clinical effect and can shorten treatment cycle and maintain the beauty of breast, with a high degree of patient satisfaction, and therefore, it is an effective and feasible method in clinical practice.
