Fibroadenosis or fibrocystic disease is the most common cause of Breast lumps in women of reproductive age. The peak incidence is between 35 and 50 years of age. It is rare before 25 years.
Women with fibroadenosis generally complain of a lump in the Breast. Typically a Fibroadenoma is between 1 to 5 cm in diameter, firm, well circumscribed and mobile.Histologically it is characterized by overgrowth of both fibrous stroma, and of epithelial elements i.e. ducts and lobules, in differing proportions. These changes may be considered as abberations of normal Breast involution and not part of a disease process. The condition may be due to a disordered or imbalanced response to endogenous sex hormones.
Only in those cases showing marked epithelial hyperplasia – epitheliosis – is the risk of Breast carcinoma thought to be increased.
Fibroadenoma s can occur alone, in groups or as a complex. Fibroadenoma s are usually found as single lumps, but about 10 – 15% of women have several lumps that may affect both Breasts. If you have multiple or complex Fibroadenoma s, this may raise your risk of Breast cancer slightly.
Cause of Fibroadenoma is unknown in the younger women. The fact that its signs and symptoms are related to the menstrual cycle, and that it can be induced in men and animals given the female hormone oestrogen, have led to the suggestion that it may be related to hormone imbalance in this age group.
It can also develop around the time of the menopause, when it is due to hormone imbalance or to the start of hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
The typical case is the presence of a painless, firm, solitary, mobile, slowly growing lump in the Breast of a woman of childbearing years.
A Fibroadenoma is usually diagnosed through clinical examination, ultrasound or mammography, and often a needle biopsy sample of the lump.
Homeopathic medications have a wide range of use in treatment and prevention of Breast disease as well as in the promotion of proper lymphatic drainage.
Homeopathic Medications are a safe and extremely effective way of balancing your problems naturally by allowing your system to correct itself with gentle stimulation of your own immune response. Unlike so many conventional medications, homeopathic medicines are never addictive. Once symptoms are relieved and resolved, you can stop taking them.
Homeopathy does not use any hormones but the remedies work by stimulating the glands to produce the required amount of hormones thus curing the problem at the root. Thus homeopathic treatment for Fibroadenoma is extremely safe and acts at the level of psycho-neuro-endocrinal axis.
A constitutional homeopathic medicine is usually prescribed to treaty a Fibroadenoma . This is done by taking into account his physical, mental, emotional and spiritual symptoms and then selecting the appropriate homeopathic medicine. The best selecting constitutional homeopathic remedy increases the overall vitality of the patient and thus helps in decreasing the size of the tumor and ultimately eliminating the growth and preventing further recurrence of the tumor or cancer. The constitutional homeopathy approach also helps in drainage and detoxification of the body.
