What is breast fibroadenoma?

Fibroadenoma is a benign tumor arising from the fibrous tissue and glandular epithelium within the breast lobules. It commonly occurs in young women and is associated with hormonal levels, genetic factors, lifestyle habits, breast tissue sensitivity, and emotional status. If symptoms such as breast lumps or pain occur, medical evaluation should be sought promptly.

1. Hormonal levels: Disruption or imbalance in the secretion of estrogen and progesterone can stimulate excessive proliferation of breast fibrous tissue, leading to tumor formation. This is the primary cause of fibroadenoma.

2. Genetic factors: Women with a family history of fibroadenoma have an increased risk of developing the condition, indicating that genetic factors play a certain role in disease development.

3. Lifestyle habits: Chronic sleep deprivation, overexertion, irregular eating patterns, and a high-fat, high-sugar diet can disrupt endocrine stability and increase the likelihood of developing fibroadenoma.

4. Breast tissue sensitivity: In some women, breast tissue is overly sensitive to hormones such as estrogen, making it prone to abnormal proliferation when stimulated, which may progress to fibroadenoma.

5. Emotional status: Prolonged anxiety, depression, and excessive stress can interfere with the function of the endocrine system, triggering or exacerbating fibrous tissue proliferation in the breast.

Treatment primarily involves surgical excision; small, asymptomatic tumors may be managed through regular observation and follow-up. Nursing care includes maintaining regular作息 (daily routines), eating a light diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, maintaining emotional well-being, engaging in moderate exercise, avoiding excessive breast compression, and performing regular breast self-examinations.
