Breast fibroid recovery period

Breast fibroids are a very common disease and many female friends may suffer from this disease, but it is usually not discovered in the first place, which causes them to miss the best time for treatment. However, if a benign tumor is detected, there is no need to worry too much. Regular check-ups will suffice. However, other patients need to adopt a two-pronged treatment approach of surgery and drug therapy.

1. Close observation and regular follow-up

Breast fibroadenomas are common benign tumors that rarely become malignant. It develops slowly, has no symptoms, does not affect life and work, and can be closely observed and followed up regularly.

2. Surgical Resection

(1) During the observation process, if you self-examine your breasts or go to the hospital for examination and find that the fibroadenoma tends to grow, or if the color Doppler ultrasound originally showed no blood flow signals in the tumor but now shows a large amount of blood flow signals, it should be surgically removed.

(3) Giant fibroadenomas (juvenile fibroadenomas) in adolescents should be considered for surgical removal because of their rapid growth and large size, which squeezes normal breast tissue. The surgery will not have an adverse effect on subsequent pregnancy and breastfeeding.

(4) Those with a family history of breast cancer may consider surgical resection.

Select those with a clear diagnosis of breast fibroadenoma (not suitable for breast cancer treatment). Using a vacuum-assisted excision device, under the guidance of breast ultrasound, the tumor is removed by inserting the needle once and making multiple cuts. The incision is only 0.3 cm, with quick recovery and good aesthetic effect. Fibroadenomas rarely recur after complete excision, but they can recur.

prevention

Establish good living and eating habits, avoid and reduce psychological stress factors, and keep a good mood. Control the intake of high-fat, high-calorie foods, and do not take exogenous estrogen indiscriminately. Master the method of breast self-examination and develop the habit of breast self-examination once a month. If you find unexplained breast nodules, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis in time. Actively participate in breast cancer screening.
