Can fibroadenomas be treated with breast massage?

Dr. Peng Xiaodong
When fibroadenoma occurs in the breast, appropriate massage may be performed. Proper massage can help unblock the meridians within the breast, improve blood circulation in the mammary tissue, stimulate the autonomic nerves around the breast, and regulate the body's endocrine system. It may enhance the breast's sensitivity to its own hormones, thereby helping prevent and treat mammary gland hyperplasia. However, such massage should only be conducted by qualified medical professionals at正规 hospitals. Blind or excessive massage should be avoided to prevent stimulating the fibroadenoma and promoting its growth.
