Managing fibroadenosis, also known as fibroadenoma, typically involves a few different approaches depending on the specific case and patient preferences:
1. Observation: Many fibroadenomas do not require treatment and can be monitored over time. Regular follow-up appointments with clinical exams and imaging (like ultrasound or mammography) are common to ensure there are no significant changes.
2. Surgical Excision: If the fibroadenoma is large, growing, or causing discomfort, surgical removal might be recommended. This is often a straightforward procedure.
3. Minimally Invasive Procedures: Techniques such as cryoablation (freezing the lump) or vacuum-assisted biopsy can be used to remove the fibroadenoma without traditional surgery.
4. Homoeopathic: Symptomatic Homoeopathic Medicine.
5. Lifestyle and Hormonal Factors: Since fibroadenomas can be influenced by hormonal changes, managing hormone levels through lifestyle changes or medication might be suggested. For example, they may shrink after menopause or with changes in hormone therapy.
It’s important to discuss with a healthcare provider to determine the best management plan based on individual circumstances and preferences.
