What does breast fibroadenoma mean and is it serious?

Breast fibroadenoma occurs in young women, about 75% are single, a few patients have multiple cases. Breast fibroadenoma accounts for about 75% of benign tumors in female breast, so patients may not need to worry too much, it is not very serious. In addition to the growth of lumps in the chest, this disease has no other obvious self-conscious symptoms, and the menstrual cycle will not have an impact on the size of the lumps. The lumps grow slowly, have a texture similar to that of a hard rubber ball, have a smooth surface and are easily pushed. At present, there is no specific treatment drugs, mainly surgical resection. If the tumor is <1cm, usually it does not need to be resected, close observation can be carried out, regular review, and conservative treatment can be chosen. If the tumor meets the indications for surgery, it needs to be removed together with the entire peritoneum during excision, and it is appropriate to wrap a small amount of breast tissue around it, and the lump also needs to undergo routine pathological examination. Depending on the size of the tumor, minimally invasive surgery or conventional surgery can be performed. Ablation, which causes tumor cell necrosis through microwave radiofrequency or freezing, also exists, but it is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or for patients with abnormal coagulation function or built-in prosthesis in the mammary gland. Early detection and treatment of breast fibroadenoma is recommended to avoid the tumor growing and compressing other parts of the breast. The prognosis of this disease is usually good after surgery, but due to the recurrence of the disease, it is recommended that patients follow the doctor's instructions for regular follow-up after surgery. Patients should also pay attention to the routine of life, avoid staying up late and get enough sleep. Keep a good mood, learn to regulate their own emotions.
