Breast fibroma is a relatively common breast disease, generally benign lesions, is the breast fibroblasts to estrogen sensitivity is abnormal, which leads to the occurrence of breast fibroma.
It is usually a painless swelling in the breast, sometimes accompanied by pain, and the incidence of the disease is higher in young women with more vigorous ovarian function.
The exact cause of breast fibroids is not fully understood, but it is associated with a hyper-sensitivity of lobular breast fibroblasts to estrogen. Estrogen can stimulate the proliferation and expansion of fibroblasts, and if the sensitivity of fibroblasts to estrogen is increased, this reaction will become stronger, resulting in the fibrous tissues showing tumor-like proliferation, which manifests as breast fibroma.
In addition, the patient’s prolonged poor mood, excessive pressure, and genetic factors may also have a certain influence on the development of breast fibroma.
Breast fibroids usually do not have the risk of deterioration, and patients should follow medical advice and be treated accordingly under the guidance of their doctors.
