Is surgery necessary for breast fibroids? The timing of surgery should be mastered

Breast fibroids are benign tumors. Generally, surgery is required immediately after they are discovered, but the timing of the surgery must also be well controlled. If an unmarried woman is married, she can suspect a pre-tumor, which can effectively prevent pregnancy and breastfeeding from aggravating the condition.

1. Timing of surgery for breast fibroids

① For unmarried women with a clear diagnosis, elective surgery can be considered, preferably with removal before marriage; ② For patients who fail to become pregnant after marriage, surgical removal should be performed before planning pregnancy. Because both pregnancy and breastfeeding can accelerate tumor growth; ③ If the tumor is discovered after pregnancy, it is advisable to undergo surgical removal between the 3rd and 6th months of pregnancy; ④ For those over 35 years old, surgical treatment should be performed in time; ⑤ In the absence of pregnancy, breastfeeding, trauma, etc. that promote tumor growth, if the tumor suddenly grows faster in a short period of time, surgery should be performed immediately.

2. Dietary precautions for patients with breast fibroids
