Medications for the treatment of breast fibroadenoma: 1. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): Such as Xiaoru Sanjie Capsules, Rupixiao Tablets, etc. These medications help reduce swelling, resolve nodules, promote blood circulation to remove stasis, and relieve pain, thereby helping to control the growth of breast fibroadenoma to some extent. 2. Western Medicine: Such as progesterone soft capsules, Rupiqing capsules, etc. Progesterone soft capsules help regulate the body's progesterone levels and improve endocrine imbalance, while Rupiqing capsules function to regulate qi, activate blood circulation, soften hardness, and dissipate nodules. 3. Other medications: Including certain endocrine therapy drugs and anti-cancer agents such as aspirin and dihydrofolic acid. However, these medications must be used under a doctor’s supervision and may carry potential side effects. The effectiveness of drug therapy for breast fibroadenoma varies among individuals and cannot completely cure the condition. During pharmacological treatment, regular follow-up examinations are necessary to monitor disease progression, and treatment plans should be adjusted according to medical advice. For fibroadenomas that are large in size or growing rapidly, surgical intervention may need to be considered.
