Are female breast fibroids serious?

Breast fibroma is a benign tumor. Unlike breast cancer, this fibroma will not threaten life; but it will also have a certain impact on life. Breast fibroma is caused by an imbalance in the secretion of sex hormones in the human body. Currently, it is divided into conservative treatment and surgical treatment. The treatment method is selected according to the specific situation. Generally speaking, the cure rate of this disease is still quite high. Let the editor take you to understand this disease.

Causes

The ovaries are functioning vigorously, the estrogen levels are too high, and the regulation is unbalanced. In addition, the patient is sensitive to estrogen. Under the long-term stimulation of estrogen, the breast epithelial tissue and fibrous tissue proliferate excessively, the structure becomes disordered, and a tumor is formed. Since breast fibroadenoma is related to vigorous secretion of sex hormones, it mostly occurs in young women and is rare in women before menstruation or after menopause.

Clinical manifestations

It is mainly a painless breast lump, rarely accompanied by breast pain or nipple discharge. Lumps are often discovered accidentally, while bathing, or during a physical examination. Most lumps are single, but they can also be multiple, or they can be felt in both breasts simultaneously or successively. Most of them are round or oval, with a diameter of 1 to 3 cm, but there are also smaller or larger ones, and occasionally huge ones. The boundaries are clear, the edges are neat, the surface is smooth, elastic, there is no tenderness, the range of motion is large, and there is no adhesion to the skin.

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.

Surgical resection

During the observation process, if you self-examine your breasts or go to the hospital for a check-up and find that the fibroadenoma tends to grow, or if the color ultrasound originally showed no blood flow signals in the mass but now a large amount of blood flow signals are seen, it should be surgically removed.
