There is a small pimple on the side of the chest

For women, breast health is something that must be paid close attention to. Many women have the problem of small bumps on both sides of their chest, which is most likely caused by a disease called breast fibroadenoma. Although breast fibroadenoma is a tumor that occurs in both sexes, this does not mean that the disease has no possibility of worsening. Next, I will introduce to you the treatment methods of breast fibroadenoma.

1. Close observation and regular follow-up

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.

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.
