Is surgery necessary for breast lipoma?

Lipoma is relatively far away from everyone. This statement may not be true in today's life, because the food in today's life is often constantly innovative, with a variety of dazzling and drooling food. The rapid increase of fat is a very normal thing. What should we do? Let’s take a brief look at the question of whether breast lipoma requires surgery.

1. It is understood that most tumors on the body surface will not grow indefinitely, but some tumors on the body surface may change. How to judge whether it is good or bad. Look at the growth rate of the tumor: Tumor cells have a tendency to grow, and benign tumor cells grow slowly. Once a tumor appears to grow faster, in a short period of time, such as one or two months, or two or three months, it becomes much larger than before, and grows exponentially or several times larger. This may be a sign of malignancy. This growth rate does not have an absolute value, it is mainly compared with the past.

2. Shape of the tumor: Tumors with regular shapes and clear edges are mostly benign; on the contrary, tumors with irregular shapes, unclear edges, and uneven surfaces are mostly malignant. For example, a lump on the breast may be a lipoma or cancer. A lipoma feels smooth, complete, and can be pushed away, and it does not stick to the skin. A cancerous tumor has a rough surface and is burr-like in shape, and the lump sticks to the skin.

3. Lipoma is a benign tumor that generally does not require surgery and does not cause any uncomfortable symptoms. A very small number of lipomas will feel painful when pressed. It can grow on any part of the body. Surgery can be performed if it affects the appearance, but it is recommended not to have surgery because you do not know whether it will grow in other parts of the body, and surgery will leave scars.

4. Lipoma grows very slowly and is unlikely to become malignant. If it is very large, it will require surgical removal. Lipomas often occur on the arms, legs, back, and abdomen. They vary in shape and size and feel hard to the touch. The vast majority of lipomas do not cause complications.

5. People with lipomas should pay attention to a reasonable diet, less salt and sugar, and mainly light food. Some people also say that lipomas are caused by overnutrition, and acquired lipomas should be related to diet.

The above is a relatively simple explanation of the question of whether breast lipoma requires surgery. Nowadays, many people have problems with fatty liver, and there is a high chance of lipoma occurring. We need to be extra careful in normal times. If problems such as breast lipoma occur, it is better to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
