The chairman of this conference and Director of SIMC Breast Surgery Zhao Chunying shared many years of clinical observations and summaries.She said, “It is particularly gratifying and meaningful to be able to continue to use my professional expertise on a non-public medical platform and at the same time spread the platform resources of high-level social medical institutions and the concept of high-quality medical services to students across the country."The original "six-step milk knot unblocking method" is based on the milk duct distribution rules of Western medicine anatomy, combined with the meridian theory and massage mechanics of the basic theory of traditional Chinese medicine, and directly acts on the diseased area from the surface to the inside to treat breast accumulation.
