What Causes Fibroadenomas To Grow Bigger While On Cerazette?
Hello, I have fibroadenoma, nearly unnoticeable, stable, not growing since I started noticing it 7 years ago and now until when I started taking the pills (cerazette) for the past 3-4 months, the fibroadenoma starts growing bigger in size day by day and increase the feelings/little pains in the breast more obviously (1 for 7mm at least). I read somewhere that treatment for fibroadenoma is avoiding food that contains estrogen-like (soya products), while cerazette adds more estrogen into my body daily and feels like it is feeding the growth of fibroadenoma. So should I stop the pill (I have migraine so cerazette is the only one I could take) and try using other contraceptive methods for the best of fibroadenoma treatment? Thank you so much!
Yes, you are right. Cerazette is estrogen containing pill. And this can worsen hormonal growth like Fibroadenomas. So better to stop this drug. Once you stop this drug, your Fibroadenomas will mostly regress in size.
For migraine, best treatment is Propranolol and Flunarizine combination at night. Along with drugs, some lifestyle modifications like avoiding stress, tension, taking sound sleep of 6-8 hours, drinking plenty of fluids orally etc are also beneficial.
So don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
