Questions
A 29-year-old woman has had breast fibroadenoma for over two years, with symptoms including fatigue and mild pain in the lower left chest area. She would like to inquire if breast fibroadenoma can be treated.
Answers
The treatment methods for breast fibroadenoma include: (1) Surgical removal: It is recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible and have a pathological examination. (2) After the fibroadenoma is removed, there is still a possibility of recurrence in other parts of the breast. For patients with multiple fibroadenomas, if recurrence occurs in other parts of the breast, consider using traditional Chinese medicine or low-dose hormone therapy (starting from the first week of the menstrual cycle, stopping before the next menstrual period, with a daily total not exceeding 100mg). If ineffective, consider discontinuing medication and undergoing surgery. It is advisable to actively pursue surgical treatment. The efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine is relatively limited. Patients should develop good living habits.
