Do I need surgery for breast fibroadenoma?

Patient's question:

The local hospital performed an ultrasound, which revealed breast hyperplasia. The doctor felt there was a fibroadenoma the size of a peanut inside and suggested surgery. Do I need to come in for a pre-op evaluation?

Doctor's answer:

If breast hyperplasia is mainly categorized, generally below four categories are considered benign, requiring 3-6 months of irregular follow-up examinations. If the size decreases or the category intensifies, surgical removal can be considered, followed by pathological examination. If it is a fibroma, it can generally be removed directly, or if it is small, it can be observed first.
Breast hyperplasia is an easily occurring gynecological disease. During treatment, women need to pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of nursing. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet as the foundation.
