What is the treatment for fibroadenoma of breast?

Condition analysis:
If you are diagnosed with a fibroadenoma, it does not necessarily have to be removed. Depending on your physical symptoms, family history, and personal concerns, you and your doctor can decide whether to have it removed or not. Fibroadenomas that do not grow and are definitely not cancerous can be closely monitored with clinical breast exams and imaging tests, such as mammograms and ultrasounds.

The decision to have a fibroadenoma removed typically depends on the following:
-- if it impacts the natural shape of the breast
-- if it causes pain
-- if you are concerned about developing cancer
-- if you have a family history of cancer
-- if you received questionable biopsy results

Instructions:
1. Vitamin E supplements: some women report significant improvement in their pain and tenderness when taking vitamin E supplements, while others don’t show any significant effect at all. Instead of going for supplements you could up your vitamin E intake through the food you eat.  Foods with high levels of vitamin E include: leafy greens, broccoli, tomatoes, basil, red bell peppers, asparagus, butternut squash, kiwis, mangoes, nuts, seeds, avocados, and olive oil.

2. Evening primrose oil: has shown some great results in alleviating pain and tenderness. The recommended dose is 3 grams a day for 3 to 6 months.

3. Iodine supplementation: iodine deficiency may play a role in the development of breast cysts. Without iodine, the breast tissue becomes more sensitive to estrogens which may cause fibroadenomas.
