How big is breast fibroid tumor and need surgical removal?

Whether breast fibroadenoma should be surgically removed depends on the patient's condition. Although it is a benign tumor, if it is not controlled and allowed to develop, the harm caused will be serious. If it is larger than three centimeters, surgical treatment is recommended.

1. Characteristics of breast fibroids

Generally speaking, breast fibroids are more likely to occur after puberty. The disease most commonly occurs in young women around 20 years old. The main cause of its onset is the imbalance of hormone levels in these patients' bodies, which leads to endocrine disorders or immune dysfunction. However, generally speaking, the diameter of its tumor is less than 3CM.

2. Is surgery necessary if the patient is 3CM?

There used to be some professional medical workers who used 3CM as a dividing line when discussing the treatment of breast fibroids. Some medical workers suggest that the answer to the question of how big a breast fibroid should be before surgery is 3CM. If it is more than 3CM, surgery is required immediately. If this value is not reached, further observation can be made.

3. If the size is less than 3CM, does surgery not need to be performed?

Some doctors do not see this issue this way. How big does a breast fibroid need to be to require surgery? They believe that 3CM is indeed a limit. However, we must analyze specific issues specifically. When some women are about to become pregnant or breastfeeding, they must undergo surgery quickly even if the cervix has not reached 3CM. Because during these two periods, due to changes in hormone levels in the body, breast fibroids can grow rapidly.
