A woman’s breasts are a symbol of feminine beauty. But unfortunately, the health of the breast or any physical changes to it are met with embarrassment and kept a secret. This is in fact a dangerous practice because not discussing breast health issues or getting them scanned through a doctor on time can lead to serious health issues for the woman.
Dr Siddharth Sakhiya, the Board-certified Plastic, Cosmetic Surgeon of Celebre Aesthetics, Surat understands the complex psychology of a woman and her hesitation in approaching a doctor for this purpose. However, he explains that in most cases if there is a lump inside a woman’s breast it is not cancerous.
On this page, Dr Sakhiya will be sharing vital information about Breast Fibroadenoma, Lumpectomy/Breast Swelling Excision, risks associated with and the details of the procedure.
What Is Breast Fibroadenoma?
Many young women and pre-menopausal women develop a lump in their breast. This lump is called Fibroadenoma. The term fibroadenoma combines the words “fibroma,” meaning a tumour made up of fibrous tissue, and “adenoma,” a tumour of gland tissue.
This lump is round or oval in shape and usually painless by nature but maybe associated with mild pain. Usually, a Breast Fibroadenoma is non-cancerous and in rare cases, it turns out to be benign cancer. The first thing that Dr Siddharth Sakhiya tells his patients is to remove the fear of cancer from their mind. According to research 8 out of 10 cases of Breast Fibroadenoma are resolved by a simple Breast Swelling Excision procedure.
What Is Breast Swelling Excision Procedure?
Breast swelling excision surgery is also referred to as Lumpectomy or Breast Lump Removal Surgery by doctors. This is a surgery where the doctor removes the tumorous growth known as Breast Fibroadenoma from the patient’s breast.
According to Dr Siddharth Sakhiya, Surat’s Board-certified Plastic Surgeon, this procedure is straightforward and may involve removing some tissue from around the lump region too.
Breast Swelling Excision Surgery is performed at Celebre Aesthetics, Surat.
A step by step breakdown of the Breast Swelling Excision Surgery:
1. Depending on your case, Dr Sakhiya will either administer local anaesthesia with intravenous sedation or general anaesthesia. Once you are comfortably numb, the surgery will begin.
2. Dr Siddharth Sakhiya will locate the lump based on clinical examination and findings in the imaging reports you have given to him during the consultation.
3. The next step is making an incision to remove the lump and some healthy tissue surrounding it. This step is performed very carefully by Dr Sakhiya. He makes the incision in such a way that the scar is not visible at all after the surgery.
4. The lump that has been removed will be sent out to the laboratory for further testing and analysis.
5. The incision is closed with sutures. The surgery is completed with this step.
What Are The Symptoms Of Breast Fibroadenoma?
The symptoms of Breast Fibroadenoma are easy to detect. The woman will feel a lump in her breast. Very rarely the shape of the breast may be slightly altered due to the lump.
Typically a lump is 2.5 cm in diameters but may be as large as 5 cm in diameters. Early detection and treatments are the only way to fight Breast Fibroadenoma.
The lump is usually painless and may not even be sensitive to touch.
As a woman, if you are experiencing these symptoms then Dr Siddharth Sakhiya strongly advises you to see a doctor at the earliest
