Does breast lipoma really need treatment?

Lipoma is a very common benign tumor, and the subcutaneous tissue of the waist is one of its common sites. In terms of treatment, surgical resection is mainly performed on large lesions that cause symptoms, while small or asymptomatic tumors can be temporarily left untreated. So, does breast lipoma need treatment? How to treat it? Let me introduce the relevant knowledge to you in detail below.

Breast lipoma is the most common benign tumor on the body surface. It can occur in any structure with adipose tissue, but is most common on the body surface and in the breast. It mostly occurs in obese female patients, and the age of onset is mostly between 30 and 50 years old. Breast lipoma mainly manifests as a single, round or lobed soft mass with clear boundaries, slow growth, and rarely malignant transformation. Breast lipoma is the most common benign tumor on the body surface. It can occur in any structure with adipose tissue, but is most common on the body surface and in the breast.

The causes of lipoma include: excessive drinking, frequent consumption of fatty meat, animal offal, scaleless fish or egg yolks, etc. Because eating too much fatty and high-cholesterol food can cause damp-heat in the spleen and stomach, endogenous phlegm and dampness, and disorder of transportation and transformation, that is, too much new adipose tissue is generated, causing excessive fat cells in the body to aggregate and harden. The principles of treatment are: antipyretic and dehumidifying, invigorating the spleen and stomach, softening and dispersing lumps. People who are under too much work pressure, are in a bad mood, and are often angry. Because of liver qi stagnation, poor blood circulation, and blocked meridians, normal adipose tissue and blood stasis can be intertwined. Over a long period of time, connective tissue can form to wrap around fat cells and form lipomas. Treatment principles: Soothe the liver and regulate qi, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, soften and disperse nodules. Through treatment, the meridians are opened up, menstrual blood is unclogged, and lipomas are eliminated.

Breast lipomas, like lipomas in other parts of the body, are benign tumors that rarely become malignant and grow slowly, posing little threat to the body. If the tumor is not large, no treatment is required. For intervellus lipoma, it can be removed at any time if it is encountered during surgical exploration. For lipomas located behind the breast, if the diagnosis is clear, the tumor is not large, and it does not affect the breast function, surgery is not necessary. For those with larger tumors, it may significantly compress surrounding tissues and even affect breast function. Surgical resection is the principle. Other non-glandular benign breast tumors include breast hemangioma, etc. Large tumors or those with the possibility of malignancy should be treated surgically, and the principles of plastic surgery should be followed during the operation.

The above content is the relevant knowledge I introduced to you about whether breast lipoma needs treatment. I believe everyone understands it. It is recommended that friends with breast lipoma should not stay up late or think too much. Because it damages the spleen and stomach, causes the spleen to lose its healthy function and the imbalance of yin and yang, the body's ability to decompose fat decreases, which can make lipomas more likely to occur. I wish you good health.
