Will breast fibroids disappear during lactation?

Breast fibroids may disappear on their own during lactation, but this is not always the case. Observation or treatment measures should be taken according to the specific condition. Breast fibroids are a common benign tumor. Due to changes in hormone levels during lactation, some fibroids may shrink or disappear, but if symptoms persist or worsen, you need to seek medical attention in time.

1. Breast fibroids may shrink or disappear during lactation due to fluctuations in hormone levels. The levels of estrogen and progesterone in lactating women are higher, and these hormones may affect the growth of fibroids. For some women, fibroids will gradually shrink or even disappear after breastfeeding, but this is not the case in all cases.

2. If breast fibroids do not change or increase significantly during lactation, regular observation is recommended. Breast ultrasound or mammography can be used to monitor changes in the size and shape of fibroids. If fibroids are stable and have no discomfort, no special treatment is usually required, but regular follow-up is required.

3. If breast fibroids grow larger or cause pain during lactation, treatment should be considered. Treatment methods include medication and surgery. For medication, Chinese medicine such as Rupixiao Tablets and Xiaoyao Pills can be used to help relieve symptoms; for surgery, minimally invasive surgery such as breast fibroid resection can be selected, which has less trauma and faster recovery.

4. Lactating women should pay attention to breast health and avoid overstimulation of the breasts. Maintaining good living habits, such as a balanced diet and moderate exercise, can help maintain stable hormone levels. Avoid wearing tight underwear to reduce breast pressure and help prevent breast diseases.

Breast fibroids may disappear on their own during lactation, but observation or treatment measures should be taken according to the specific situation. Regular examinations, reasonable treatment and good living habits are the key to maintaining breast health. If symptoms persist or worsen, you should seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying the disease.
