What Is Breast Fibroadenoma?

Many young women and pre-menopausal women develop a lump in their breast. This lump is called Fibroadenoma. The term fibroadenoma combines the words “fibroma,” meaning a tumour made up of fibrous tissue, and “adenoma,” a tumour of gland tissue.

This lump is round or oval in shape and usually painless by nature but maybe associated with mild pain. Usually, a Breast Fibroadenoma is non-cancerous and in rare cases, it turns out to be benign cancer. The first thing that We tell our patients is to remove the fear of cancer from their mind. According to research 8 out of 10 cases of Breast Fibroadenoma are resolved by a simple Breast Swelling Excision procedure.

What Is Breast Swelling Excision Procedure?

Breast swelling excision surgery is also referred to as Lumpectomy or Breast Lump Removal Surgery by doctors. This is a surgery where the doctor removes the tumorous growth known as Breast Fibroadenoma from the patient’s breast.

According to us, this procedure is straightforward and may involve removing some tissue from around the lump region too.

Breast Swelling Excision Surgery is performed at Celebre Aesthetics, Surat.

A step by step breakdown of the Breast Swelling Excision Surgery:

1. Depending on your case, We will either administer local anaesthesia with intravenous sedation or general anaesthesia. Once you are comfortably numb, the surgery will begin.

2. We will locate the lump based on clinical examination and findings in the imaging reports you have given to him during the consultation.

3. The next step is making an incision to remove the lump and some healthy tissue surrounding it. This step is performed very carefully. We make the incision in such a way that the scar is not visible at all after the surgery.

4. The lump that has been removed will be sent out to the laboratory for further testing and analysis.

5. The incision is closed with sutures. The surgery is completed with this step.

What Are The Symptoms Of Breast Fibroadenoma?

The symptoms of Breast Fibroadenoma are easy to detect. The woman will feel a lump in her breast. Very rarely the shape of the breast may be slightly altered due to the lump.

Typically a lump is 2.5 cm in diameters but may be as large as 5 cm in diameters. Early detection and treatments are the only way to fight Breast Fibroadenoma. The lump is usually painless and may not even be sensitive to touch.

As a woman, if you are experiencing these symptoms then we strongly advises you to see a doctor at the earliest.

What To Expect Before The Breast Lump Removal Surgery?

There is no special preparation required for the patient before a Breast Lump Removal Surgery. You may be asked to discontinue some medicines.

You will be asked to undergo a routine blood test before the surgery to establish parameters for giving you the right dosage of anaesthesia.

We also advise patients to keep a positive frame of mind in the days leading up to the surgery.

What To Expect During The Recovery From Breast Swelling Excision Surgery?

The recovery from Breast Swelling Excision surgery needs rest for 1-2 days. We will prescribe medicines to manage the pain and accelerate the recovery. Sometimes a drainage tube may be placed to remove excess fluids from the body safely.

Depending on the results of the biopsy your future course of action is determined. In case the biopsy shows “no cancerous growth” then you won’t be undergoing any further treatment.
