Fibroadenoma is a benign tumor of the mammary gland, most commonly found in women under the age of thirty. Unlike cancerous tumors (malignant), fibroadenomas are usually movable and typically small in size (1-3 cm).
However, there are cases where the tumor reaches a diameter of 5-7 centimeters, but this is more of an exception rather than the rule, as women usually become aware of the problem much earlier. During hygiene procedures, they simply feel a knot of unknown origin in the breasts and take appropriate action.
Fibroadenoma is usually diagnosed at the end of the menstrual cycle and during pregnancy. It is during these periods that the tumor increases most intensively.
Causes and symptoms
Fibroadenomas arise from hormonal imbalances caused by lack of rest and sleep, excessive physical and psychological stress. The tumor can also develop as a complication after a previously experienced illness and have a chronic nature.
Unlike other tumors and diseases, fibroadenoma does not cause any painful sensations or discomfort; rather, any discomfort it brings is more related to psychological and emotional stress. Isn’t it ironic when a lump appears in the breast?!
In 90% of cases, fibroadenoma occurs only in one breast, and modern treatment methods allow for the removal of the tumor without any serious consequences. Another piece of good news is that fibroadenoma, even with large sizes, cannot lead to cancer and affect the course of pregnancy.
Treatment of fibroadenoma of the mammary gland
Treating fibroadenoma with folk remedies is an acceptable option if the tumor is small. Otherwise, it is better to resort to traditional treatment methods.
Herbal decoction No. 1. Treatment of fibroadenoma with folk remedies involves restoring hormonal balance in the body and dissolving the tumor, and various herbal decoctions and infusions do a good job with this. To prepare one such remedy, you will need the following ingredients: chamomile flowers, fennel seeds, burdock root, marshmallow, and licorice. Recipe: mix the ingredients in equal proportions, then take a tablespoon of the mixture, pour a glass of boiling water over it, and let it infuse for 10-15 minutes. Drink it in three doses throughout the day.
Take two tablespoons of sage and mint, add a tablespoon each of valerian root and hop cones, mix thoroughly, then pour a glass of boiling water over one tablespoon of the mixture and infuse for 30 minutes. Take the infusion half a glass three times a day before meals.
Take three teaspoons of wormwood herb, pour a glass of boiling water over it, and infuse for two to three hours. Take a teaspoon after breakfast and lunch. From the third day of treatment, increase the dose to a tablespoon. Treatment course: 10 days.
For fibroadenoma, folk treatment can also be carried out using ordinary potatoes. Recipe: prepare half a glass of fresh potato juice (grate the potatoes and squeeze through cheesecloth) and drink it twenty minutes before meals. Take potato juice three times a day for three weeks.
Ointment for dissolving the tumor. Pour 200 ml of refined sunflower oil into a small metal pot, put it on low heat, add a piece of yellow wax (matchbox size), and after it melts, finely crush one freshly boiled (preferably homemade) chicken egg. Boil until foam appears, stirring vigorously with a spoon, then remove from heat, and when the foam subsides, put it back on. Overall, the mixture should be kept on the heat for 30 minutes, then strain immediately through cheesecloth and cool.
