What is a fibroadenoma? Fibroadenomas are the most common benign tumors of the breast and can occur in women of any age after puberty, although they are most common in girls between the ages of 18 and 25. Fibroadenomas do not usually cause any sensation, except for a non-painful lump in the breast. Symptoms of breast cancer, such as breast pain or nipple discharge, do not occur. In many cases, it is only when you find an isolated lump in your breast that is not painful to the touch and slides around inside the breast that you hesitate to go to the hospital. Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish whether the lump is a lobular hyperplasia or a fibroadenoma. There is a very practical way: if the size of the lump changes significantly around the time of menstruation, then most of the time the lump is just a lobular hyperplasia; however, if there is no significant change in the size of the lump at any time of the day or night, then it may be a mature fibroadenoma. Fibroadenomas are associated with endocrine hormone imbalance and can occur as a result of elevated local estrogen. Therefore, the so-called ‘essential oil breast massage’ is not necessarily a good thing. Can fibroadenomas become cancerous? According to the current research results, there is no direct correlation between breast fibroadenoma and breast cancer, and the possibility of cancer is so low that it can be almost ignored. Most fibroadenomas are less likely to recur after complete removal, but younger patients may develop new lesions and grow new breast fibroids in other areas or adjacent to the original surgical area. Some studies have shown that patients with “fibroadenomas without complex features” do not have an increased risk of developing breast cancer relative to the general population. Rumors that fibroadenomas are cancerous on the Internet are nonsense; some are simply false advertisements by unscrupulous hospitals to attract patients. However, while breast fibroadenomas themselves are not cancerous, beware of low-grade malignant lobular tumors in single, oversized lumps. Especially during pregnancy, fibroadenomas grow rapidly and are much more likely to develop into lobulated tumors. Therefore, a definitive diagnosis is very important. What to do? Once a fibroadenoma has formed, it can only be eradicated by surgery and cannot be cured by medication. However, benign lumps can be operated on electively, that is to say, there is no hurry to open it. When you hear about surgery, you are going to be nervous again: do you need anesthesia? Will it leave a scar? What will happen if you don’t have surgery? In fact, the whole procedure is very simple, not much more complicated than tooth extraction, and when and how to do the surgery can be completely up to you. General fibroadenoma surgery are carried out on an outpatient basis, the whole process of about half an hour, and local anesthesia drugs in the breast surgery area, the whole process of surgery is completely awake, you can communicate with the doctor normally. Girls who love beauty can choose minimally invasive surgery, and after the operation, you can not see the scar at all. In fact, the traditional suturing technique has been very much improved nowadays, and the post-operative period is almost a faint linear scar, no more centipede-like scars that used to be an eyesore. Because it is an elective surgery, it is necessary to avoid surgery during menstruation in order to protect the mammary glands and breastfeeding function; if you are preparing for pregnancy, it is recommended to have the surgery half a year beforehand to give the mammary glands sufficient time to recover. If the surgery is not done, then the fibroadenoma is so big or grows slowly. In order to exclude the possibility of breast cancer, it is recommended to have an ultrasound once every 3 to 6 months to observe the size of the lump, its borders and blood flow; for women over 40 years of age, a molybdenum target is added once a year. What should I pay attention to in my diet? What should I eat more of and what should I not eat? My opinion is that all foods should be eaten in moderation to ensure balanced nutrition. A healthy diet is an important way to protect breast health. 1, recommended to eat soybean Soybean has a protective effect on the mammary gland. Soy isoflavones contained in soybeans are a type of phytoestrogen, which is different from human estrogen. Research has found that phytoestrogens play a bidirectional role in regulating estrogen levels in the female body. Simply put, when our body estrogen is insufficient, it can play the role of supplemental estrogen; and when the body estrogen level is too high, it plays an inhibitory role. 2, not recommended to eat royal jelly Estrogen-rich health products such as propolis, royal jelly, pollen, etc. are not recommended for consumption. Suffer from breast fibroadenoma, do not have to be too nervous, especially young women around 20 years old, there is no need for fibroadenoma and suffering.
