ABSTRACT
The fibrocystic disease is the most frequent mamma disorder during the stage of
sexual maturity. More than 30 % of the women in Cuba suffer from that disease. In
Traditional Chinese Medicine, it corresponds mainly with Ru-Pi category. With the
aim of identifying the characteristics of this disease from the perspective of the
Traditional Chinese Medicine, a search was carried out in the Health Virtual Library
Infomed, in several international databases and in the Library of the Provincial
Reference Service of Traditional and Natural Medicine of Matanzas. 32 articles and
17 books were reviewed without limitation of edition year and country, choosing 27
of them qualitatively adjusted to the research aims. Ru-Pi is widely defined as a
long-lasting appearance nodule (or nodules) in the mamma; these nodules are not
suppurative. They are differenced according to the traditional syndrome diagnosis
mainly as liver Qi stagnation, liver Qi stagnation transformed in fire, liver Qi
stagnation concomitant with Xu (deficiency) of Yin, and Qi stagnation concomitant
with Chon and Ren canals disharmony. There it were exposed the treatment
principles of this disease and the therapeutic schemes defined according to the
models of the Traditional Chinese Medicine.
