Suggest Treatment For Fibroadenoma Of A Breast
Question: Hi, I am 25 years old female. I recently developed a fibroid in my left breast ( in the report's language, its 5 O'clock and 2.5 mm large). I consulted a gynaecologist and she recommended a surgery to get it removed. I wanted to know if surgery is required or can it be dissolved with medication?
Brief Answer:
Surgery is usually not needed.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Fibroadenoma of a breast is a benign lesion and it does not progress. Usually no treatment is needed. Most of the fibroadenomas regress spontaneously with time without any treatment.
Homeopathy has described a treatment for fibroadenoma of breast.
The simple measures to reduce the lump size are-
1.Application of a hot compress to the affected breast. Soak a towel in castor oil and place it on the area that is affected. Keep this towel in place for about an hour for maximum results. You could also use plain castor oil to regularly massage your breasts. The application of castor oil mixed with essential oils or herbs is also regarded as an effective natural remedy for fibroadenoma.
2.Use of ginger tea is also popular when it comes to natural remedies for fibroadenoma. Dip a towel in the tea while it is still warm. Then, hold the towel against your breast for about 20 to 60 minutes; do this every few hours. This remedy is particularly helpful if you are also experiencing pain and discomfort.
Surgery is not needed for a small fibroadenona like you have. You can get an FNAC of the lump done to confirm the diagnosis.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
