Fibroids: Hot compresses on breasts every day

Many people think that breast fibroadenoma is breast cancer, but this is actually wrong. Although both diseases are tumors, unlike breast cancer, breast fibroadenoma is a benign tumor and will not endanger life. There are many methods for treating breast fibroids circulating among the people, such as applying hot compresses to the breasts every day. However, are these methods really effective in treating breast fibroids? After consulting the information, the editor learned some information and would like to share it with you below.

Introduction to Breast Fibroids

Breast fibroadenoma is a benign tumor composed of a mixture of glandular epithelium and fibrous tissue. It is common in young women and is related to an imbalance in sex hormone levels in the patient's body. This disease is also known as adenofibroma and adenoma, which is due to the different degrees of fibrous components and glandular epithelial hyperplasia that make up the tumor. When the tumor is mainly composed of glandular epithelial hyperplasia with fewer fibrous components, it is called fibroadenoma; if fibrous tissue accounts for the majority of the tumor and the glandular duct components are relatively small, it is called adenofibroma; when the tumor tissue is composed of a large number of glandular duct components, it is called adenoma. The above three classifications only differ in pathological morphology. Their clinical manifestations, treatments and prognoses are the same, so they are collectively called fibroadenomas.

treat

Breast fibroids can be treated conservatively. If there are no symptoms such as pain, there is no need for hot compresses. You can use Chinese patent medicines such as Prunella Vulgaris Capsules, Xiaojin Pills, or ask a Chinese medicine doctor to prescribe Chinese medicine to soften and disperse the nodules to treat fibroids.

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.

Patients with breast fibroids should undergo fibroadenoma removal before planning to become pregnant. Cause: a. The occurrence of breast fibroadenoma is related to the increase of estrogen levels. During pregnancy and lactation, as the hormone levels in the body change, the tumor volume can increase rapidly. b. Breast surgery and invasive examinations are not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
