The diagnosis: a fibroadenoma of a mammary gland. What it is? Is it dangerous?

If a woman feels a seal in her breast, which does not disappear when she changes position, it can be assumed that she has a fibroadenoma of the mammary gland.

A rare woman will not be frightened after such a tumor is discovered. First thoughts about oncology, about surgery.

Whether a fibroadenoma of a mammary gland is dangerous , what is it in general? After removal, you can return to normal life or "after" will not be?

The first thing a woman who has had to face fibroadenoma, should contact a gynecologist. The doctor will decide the question with additional examinations and determine the treatment strategy.

This neoplasm rarely passes into oncology. The danger is only leaf-like fibroadenoma, which develops in 3 cases out of 100. Yes, and it in a life-threatening sarcoma is reborn in 10 out of 100 cases.

The nature of the tumor, its contours, sizes - only a special ultrasound will show what size fibroadenoma of the breast, what it is. Do I need to adjust for additional treatment? One ultrasound is not enough. Most likely, still it is required to make mammogram (though some gynecologists do not insist on similar inspection) and a puncture of consolidation. Puncture is an injection, during which a fluid is taken from the neoplasm for a biopsy. It happens that a histological examination is required. Each case is individual.

If the compaction is caused by blockage of the mammary duct, there are cases that after the puncture the fibroadenoma disappears.

The tumor contains the epithelial connective tissue, can be single or consist of several neoplasms. Nodule sizes range from a few millimeters to 9 centimeters.

The causes of the appearance of fibroadenoma of the breast can be different, these are:

  • Failure of the hormonal background;
  • Endocrine diseases ;
  • Trauma of the mammary gland.

Disappear large education in itself can not. Small nodules sometimes disappear after the leveling of the hormonal background, if their appearance is provoked by excessive production of estrogen. Most often, surgical intervention may be required to remove.

Suppose, the diagnosis is known - fibroadenoma of the mammary gland. What is it is also now clear. In order to confirm it or refute it, you need to pass a special analysis - a histology. Do it after surgery, and only it will allow you to accurately know the prognosis, what will be the prospects after removal of the fibroadenoma of the breast.

Removal can occur by the usual surgical method. In this case, the shape of the breast can change and a scar remains.

A more gentle method is laser surgery. In this case, and in the hospital can not be, but if necessary, histological examination is unacceptable.

The newest method of influencing the tumor with low temperatures - cribination - is not performed in all clinics. It's a pity. The shape of the breast does not change, there is no scar.

Sometimes the operation is performed by radio waves.

Mammotomy biopsy allows you to extract the tumor as sparingly as possible. Such a surgical intervention makes it possible to carry out the examination to the fullest, and scar scarcely leaves.

If the treatment strategy is worked out correctly, and histology is given a characteristic - benign fibroadenoma of the mammary gland (what it is, you already know), then within 1-2 weeks after the surgery you can return to normal life.
