Treatment for breast fibroadenoma must be complex. First you need to identify and treat the disease, which led to the formation of fibroadenomas. The next step - surgery - removal of the tumor. If you do not, then after removing the fibroadenoma may appear again.
Basic principles of treatment of breast fibroadenoma
Fibroadenoma breast cancer is hormone-dependent tumors. Therefore, it appears when and hormonal disorders. In order to effectively treat this disease, you must first identify the cause of hormonal disorders
Hormonal disorders - oversupply and a lack of equally dangerous
and if possible to eliminate it or at least treat.
This may cause dysfunction of the endocrine glands, primarily those that have a significant effect on the reproductive function. It hypothalamus and pituitary gland - the main regulators of the menstrual cycle. But it would be wrong to think that the rest of the endocrine glands have no effect on the secretion of female hormones - thyroid condition
The thyroid gland - is responsible for your hormones
, Adrenal gland is also important.
The condition of the reproductive system are also affected by chronic pelvic inflammatory disease, stress, prolonged high physical and psychological stress. All of these reasons should identify and eliminate, or after removal of the nodes reappear fibroadenomatoznye
Another important component of a comprehensive treatment of fibroadenomas is a surgical treatment - removal of the tumor, because the tumor does not resolve and may behave unpredictably: grow and malignant (degenerate into a malignant tumor) without any visible external influences.
However, small tumors (less than 3 cm in diameter) are not prone to the growth sometimes just observe and operate only when the intensive growth or suspected malignancy.
Removal of fibroadenoma of the breast
There are certain indications for surgery to remove the fibroadenoma is:
- rapid tumor growth, when it increases by about two times, for 3 months;
- the size of more than 3 cm in diameter - if the tumor grows, increases the risk of post-operative cosmetic defect;

The operation can be performed under local anesthesia. In the area of the areola (the areola) or over the tumor (if it is located far away from the areola) conducted a small incision, removed the tumor and put cosmetic seams.
Removed tissue is sent for histological examination to verify their purity.
Sectoral resection - the removal of the tumor together with the adjacent to it at a distance of 2-3 centimeters of tissue. The operation is carried out if, despite the absence of atypical cells, preserved suspected cancer
Malignant tumor: cells are mad
. They operate under general anesthesia. If the tumor was quite large, there is a cosmetic defect, which can be eliminated with the help of the following plastic surgery. The removed tissue is sent for histological examination.
Fibroadenoma of the breast - the postoperative period
After surgery, enucleation woman can be discharged the same day, and after sector resection hold it in the hospital for 2-3 days. After anesthesia will take effect, there may be some soreness in the area of the wound, which is easily removed taking pain medication.
After discharge from the hospital she will need to protect the mammary gland from injury, avoid strenuous exercise. Every 2-3 days held dressings, sutures are removed 4-5 days after enucleation or 7-10 days after sector resection. Full recovery occurs in 10-20 days.
People's treatment of fibroadenomas of the breast
Traditional methods of treatment can be carried out under the supervision of a physician. These methods can be incorporated into the complex treatment of fibroadenomas.
