Of the breast tumors, the most commonly diagnosed are various variations of fibroadenoma and cyst. Less common is the papilloma, located inside the ducts of the gland. In connection with the increase in the number of cases of malignant pathology, any benign education requires careful diagnosis and timely treatment.
Treatment of a benign breast tumor can be divided into conservative therapeutic tactics and surgical intervention.
Conservative treatment of benign neoplasms
Conservative therapy is the regular observation of the dynamics of tumor development. As a rule, drug treatment for benign tumors located in the mammary gland is not applied. You can use homeopathic and herbal preparations that contribute to the normalization of the hormonal background. An example of such drugs are Tazalok, Mastodinon.
As an auxiliary step in the treatment will not prevent compliance with dietary recommendations. Proper nutrition normalizes metabolism and improves the functioning of all organs.
Surgery
Removal of a benign breast tumor is necessary in the following circumstances:
- active dynamics of tumor growth;
- large size of the neoplasm;
- signs of malignancy (that is, there are changes characteristic of malignant neoplasm).
Usually, two types of surgery are used:
- Sectoral resection - remove the whole segment of the mammary gland in which the tumor is located.
- Enucleation - a tumor is secreted from surrounding tissues, and only neoplasm is removed, without excision of surrounding tissues.
During an operation to remove a benign breast tumor,
The surgical stapling is performed by a cosmetic suture. After a while, the threads dissolve themselves, and there is practically no trace left of the seam.
Despite the good results, surgical treatment does not give a 100% guarantee of getting rid of the pathology of the breast. If predisposing factors are present, a benign tumor may recur.
