FIBROADENOMA OF BREAST

A fibroadenoma is a benign (noncancerous) breast tumor that is made up of glandular and fibrous tissue. It is most common in women between the ages of 15 and 35, and it can occur in one or both breasts.

Fibroadenomas are usually smooth and round, and they can be felt as a hard, mobile lump under the skin. They are typically painless, but they may cause discomfort or tenderness..

Causes:

The exact cause of fibroadenomas is not known, but there are several factors that may contribute to their development. These include:

  • Hormonal influences: Hormonal imbalances or fluctuations, such as those that occur during pregnancy, menopause, or while taking birth control pills, may increase the risk of developing a fibroadenoma

  • Genetics: A family history of fibroadenomas or other breast abnormalities may increase the risk of developing a fibroadenoma.

  • Environmental factors: Exposure to certain chemicals or toxins, such as pesticides or radiation, may increase the risk of developing a fibroadenoma.

  • Obesity: Being overweight or obese may increase the risk of developing a fibroadenoma.

  • Age: Fibroadenomas are more common in women who are between the ages of 20 and 30, but they can occur at any age.

Symptoms:

  • A hard, smooth, round, or oval-shaped lump in the breast tissue

  • No pain or discomfort associated with the lump No changes in the shape or appearance of the breast

  • No discharge from the nipple No changes in the skin over the breast or nipple

It is important to note that these symptoms may also be present in other conditions, such as breast cancer.

Homeopathic treatment:

Homeopathy focuses on treating the individual as a whole, rather than just targeting the specific condition.

For the treatment of fibroadenoma of the breast, a variety of remedies are selected based on the individual's specific symptoms and overall health.
