Fibroadenoma Treatment

Treatment Options for Fibroadenomas

Dr. Rajinder Kaur Saggu offers several treatment options for fibroadenomas:

1. Observation

• Monitor small, asymptomatic fibroadenomas with regular breast exams and mammograms.

2. Surgical Removal (Excision)

• Recommended for large, growing, or symptomatic fibroadenomas.
• Lumpectomy or excision biopsy preserves surrounding breast tissue.

3. Minimally Invasive Procedures

• Cryoablation or vacuum-assisted biopsy/excision aims to shrink or remove the fibroadenoma without traditional surgery.

4. Medication

• Hormonal treatments like birth control pills or SERMs may reduce fibroadenoma size, though effectiveness varies.

5. Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA)

• Withdraws fluid or tissue from the fibroadenoma using a thin needle.
• Can serve for diagnosis and sometimes causes shrinkage.

6. Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)

• Minimally invasive procedure using radiofrequency energy to destroy fibroadenoma tissue.

Considerations:

• Treatment choice depends on factors like fibroadenoma size, symptoms, patient preference, and risk factors.
• Discuss available options with Dr. Rajinder Kaur Saggu to determine the most suitable approach.
