Is breast fibroid surgery performed under general anesthesia?

Fibroma is a benign tumor. Although it generally does not affect people, it does not rule out the possibility that the tumor will worsen. There are many effective treatments for fibroids, and surgery is one of them. Before the operation, the patient is usually given general anesthesia to facilitate further operation. Here we will introduce to you the surgical treatment of breast fibroids.

Surgical treatment of breast fibroadenomas: Surgical treatment is not required 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.

Early stage breast cancer often presents clinically as a painless breast lump, and ultrasound or mammography X-ray findings are also nonspecific. Patients who are suspected of having special fibroadenomas or common fibroadenomas but cannot be diagnosed clearly, or patients who are too nervous and anxious, or whose tumors grow significantly in a short period of time, or those with a family history of breast cancer, or new breast lumps in postmenopausal women, must receive timely surgical treatment.

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. Consider removing larger lumps or those suspected of being malignant, and observe those typical fibroadenoma lumps. During the observation process, if the lumps are found to be growing rapidly or malignancy cannot be ruled out, surgical treatment can be performed in time.

Some patients still develop new tumors in the original surgical site, other parts of the breast, or even the contralateral breast after complete resection. This is not a true recurrence of the original tumor, but a second primary tumor. The claim that "removal of breast fibroadenoma will lead to the occurrence of other tumors" is completely unfounded.
