Breast fibroma is a benign breast tumor that is common in Chinese women. Although they don't usually progress into breast cancer, proper identification and treatment of these tumors is essential to maintain a woman's breast health. Here are nine key points about the identification and management of breast fibroids.
Edit the search image. Breast fibromas are benign tumors that develop in breast tissue and are made up of connective tissue and glandular tissue of the breast. They are usually round or oval in shape, have well-defined borders, and can move freely within the breast.

Diagnosis of breast fibromas is usually based on ultrasonography and mammography (mammography). In some cases, your doctor may recommend a fine-needle aspiration biopsy or needle aspiration biopsy to obtain a tissue sample to ensure the nature of the tumor.

Changes in hormone levels are thought to be an important factor in the development of breast fibroids. High levels of estrogen and progesterone may promote the growth of fibroids.

While there is no sure way to prevent the formation of breast fibroids, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as moderate exercise, a balanced diet, and reduced stress, can reduce the risk of hormone imbalances.

As soon as you notice a new lump in the breast or a change in an existing lump, you should consult a breast professional immediately. Even benign tumors require professional evaluation and proper management.
