Things to note after breast fibroid surgery

As long as people have undergone breast fibroid surgery, they should go to the hospital regularly for relevant examinations. This is very important. Through relevant examination methods, they can know whether their body is getting better. They should also nourish their bodies through diet to make their physical fitness stronger than before, so as to avoid other side effects after the operation.

1. 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.

2. Surgical Resection

(1) During the observation process, if you self-examine your breasts or go to the hospital for examination and find that the fibroadenoma tends to grow, or if the color Doppler ultrasound originally showed no blood flow signals in the tumor but now shows a large amount of blood flow signals, it should be surgically removed.

(2) Patients with breast fibroids should undergo fibroadenoma removal before preparing for pregnancy. 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.

(3) Giant fibroadenomas (juvenile fibroadenomas) in adolescents should be surgically removed because of their rapid growth and large size, which squeezes normal breast tissue. The surgery will not have an adverse effect on subsequent pregnancy or breastfeeding.

(4) Those with a family history of breast cancer may consider surgical resection.

3. Minimally invasive breast excision surgery

Select those with a clear diagnosis of breast fibroadenoma (not suitable for breast cancer treatment). Using a vacuum-assisted excision device, under the guidance of breast ultrasound, the tumor is removed by inserting the needle once and making multiple cuts. The incision is only 0.3 cm, with quick recovery and good aesthetic effect. Fibroadenomas rarely recur after complete excision, but they can recur.

Establish good living and eating habits, avoid and reduce psychological stress factors, and keep a good mood. Control the intake of high-fat, high-calorie foods, and do not take exogenous estrogen indiscriminately. Master the method of breast self-examination and develop the habit of breast self-examination once a month. If you find unexplained breast nodules, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis in time. Actively participate in breast cancer screening.
