Breast Fibroadenoma -when You Get A False Cancer Scare by richieolufunmi1(f): 10:36am On Oct 17, 2017
BREAST FIBROADENOMA-WHEN YOU GET A FALSE CANCER SCARE.

Do you know anyone whose breast hardened as a result of a developed lump? Yes despite any reassurance, she will be absolutely petrified. Because, the feeling would be that Cancer has developed.

Fibroadenoma of the breast is a noncancerous (benign) tumor. Fibroadenoma is the most common benign tumor of the breast. Benign tumor means it is not caused by cancer. Fibroadenoma is the most common breast tumor in women under age 30. A fibroadenoma is made up of breast gland tissue and tissue that helps support the breast gland tissue.
African American women tend to develop fibroadenomas more often and at an earlier age than Caucasian women. The cause of fibroadenomas is not known.

Symptoms
Fibroadenomas are usually single lumps. About 10 - 15% of women have several lumps that may affect both breasts.
Lumps may be:
• Easily moveable under the skin
• Firm
• Painless
• Rubbery
Lumps have smooth, well-defined borders. They may grow in size, especially during pregnancy. Fibroadenomas often get smaller after menopause (if a woman is not taking hormone therapy).

Exams and Tests
After a physical exam, one or both of the following tests are usually done:
• Breast ultrasound
• Mammogram
A biopsy may be done to get a definite diagnosis. Different types of biopsies include:
• Open
• Stereotatic
• Ultrasound (core needle)
Women in their teens or early 20s may not need a biopsy if the lump goes away on its own or if the lump does not change over a long period.

Treatment

If a biopsy shows that the lump is a fibroadenoma, the lump may be left in place or removed. Women with fibroadenoma have a slightly higher risk of breast cancer later in life. If the lump is left in place and watched carefully, it may need to be removed at a later time if it changes or grows.

But from an Alternative Medicine point of view, which is our area of specialisation, this condition is handled using products that are antioxidants, tumour crushers, immune system enhancers and are anti-inflamatory in its activities. Products like African Potato, Defender, Supercider, Omega plus, Buchu Power, Aloe Power and Immune booster
