How to treat benign breast tumors

Benign breast tumors are also relatively common. They are a type of painless tumor. They are usually small in the early stages of the disease, but sometimes grow very fast. They are characterized by clear boundaries, smaller flat tumors, and a not particularly smooth surface. Benign breast tumors also need to be treated in a timely manner, especially those that grow significantly, which can be treated through surgery.

How to treat benign breast tumors

1. Surgical treatment is not necessary for clearly diagnosed common fibroadenomas, but close observation and regular check-ups are required. Improving the diagnostic accuracy of breast fibroadenomas is the key to reducing the surgical rate. Surgery is the most effective treatment for breast fibroadenoma. Whether it is common fibroadenoma or special types of fibroadenoma such as juvenile fibroadenoma and giant fibroadenoma, it can be cured as long as it is completely removed. Surgical treatment of single breast fibroadenomas is easy, but surgical treatment of multiple breast fibroadenomas is more difficult.

For multiple scattered breast fibroadenomas, if all of them are removed, the breast will be covered with incisions, which is obviously unacceptable. Consideration may be given to removing larger tumors or suspicious masses, while typical fibroadenoma masses may be observed. During the observation process, if the mass is found to be enlarged or a malignant tumor cannot be ruled out, surgical treatment may be performed in a timely manner.

2. Drug treatment generally cannot make existing breast fibroadenomas disappear, but it can inhibit tumor growth and the occurrence of new tumors. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment can be considered. The principle of traditional Chinese medicine is to soothe the liver and relieve depression, and resolve phlegm and disperse nodules. It can be used in patients with small, basically confirmed breast tumors or in patients with multiple breast fibroadenomas after selective resection. Endocrine drug treatment is generally not recommended.
