Chengdu Sunshine Gynecological Hospital pays attention to your health

The most effective treatment for breast fibroadenoma is surgery, in addition, there are still traditional Chinese medicine treatment and hormone therapy and other etiological treatments. At present, in addition to surgical treatment, the main use of traditional Chinese medicine treatment, hormone therapy is not commonly used.

Although surgery is the most effective treatment for breast fibroadenoma, it does not mean that surgery is needed as soon as the adenoma is found, but the timing and indications for surgery should be strictly controlled and not generalized. For unmarried women around 20 years old, if the adenoma is not big, it is not suitable for immediate surgery, clinical observation should be the main focus, and if necessary, it can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine; if the adenoma is more than 1cm in young married women, it is suitable for surgery before pregnancy; if the adenoma newly appeared in the period of pregnancy and lactation, it is firstly to observe the growth of its mass, and for the rapid growth of mass, it is necessary to perform surgery; if the adenoma is found in women above 35 years old, it is particularly important for women to have surgery when it is found. If adenomas are found in women over 35 years old, especially in post-menopausal women, they should be removed immediately and frozen section examination should be done during the operation; in cases where adenomas recur in the same place after operation, malignant changes should be guarded against, for each recurrence increases the possibility of malignant changes. The first step is to remove the surrounding glands.

The cause of breast fibroma is the abnormal increase in the sensitivity of breast lobular cells to estrogen, and estrogen is the stimulating factor for the development of this tumor, so the fibroma occurs in the ovarian function stage. Although breast fibroids are benign, a small number of them may become malignant, especially in elderly women. At present, there is no specific medicine for breast fibroids, and there is a chance of malignant changes, so the clinic generally take surgical excision of breast fibroids as a treatment method.
