What Is Fibroadenoma, and How Can It Be Managed? - #15369
I recently discovered a lump in my breast, and after visiting the doctor, I was told that it might be a fibroadenoma. From what I understand, fibroadenomas are non-cancerous breast tumors that are usually harmless, but what exactly causes them, and should I be concerned? I read that fibroadenomas are common in young women and are linked to hormonal changes, but can they develop at any age? Also, do they always stay the same size, or can they grow and change over time? One thing that concerns me is whether fibroadenomas increase the risk of breast cancer. Are there any signs that a fibroadenoma might need further testing, or is it safe to leave it untreated if it isn’t causing problems? Are there any natural or Ayurvedic treatments that help shrink fibroadenomas or balance hormonal fluctuations? I’ve heard that Ashoka, Shatavari, and Turmeric are used in Ayurveda for breast health and hormone regulation—do these actually work? If anyone has had fibroadenoma, what treatment options were recommended? Did lifestyle changes, diet, or herbal remedies help reduce the lump?
