Soy milk and Fibroadenoma !
Hi doctors, i'm 27 years old i have removed a large fibroadenoma 3 years ago and i want to know if soy milk and other soy products have any negative effect on the recurring of Fibroadenomas, or if it'll cause later any cancerous masses, what diets should i follow to protect myself from Fibroadenomas & breast cancer?
Hi Emily,
Rest assured that you are not bothering me at all ! :)
It is not uncommon to have pain in the breast,even years after breast surgery,due to scar tissue or nerve damage.Nerve pain can last for a long time,but will eventually go away.
If you are worried about the pain,tell your doc about it and tell him/her if it has worsened lately.Also,make sure you get Mammograms or Ultrasounds as scheduled by your Doctor and keep notice of new lumps when you do your BSE (Breast Self Exam) every month after your period is over.
You can look over the Internet for instructions on how to perform BSE.
All the best wishes to you...

okay, but there have been a little change in the shape after the surgery, and it hurts a lot every month before the period at the side with the removed Fibroadenoma but the pain goes away gradually after the first day, is it normal?, what physical examinations should i perform? every year or what?
sorry for bothering you Zouzi & thanks :)

You are welcome Emily :)
Please note that sometimes Fibroadenomas could recur.Knowing the normal shape and feel of your own breasts is very important,so make sure you perform regular breast self-examinations to detect any unusual changes and have regular physical examinations okay?

Hi.
The cause of fibroadenomas is unknown.The vast majority are benign breast tumor that may appear at any age,but they are more common in women in their twenties and thirties.These benign lumps,are not related to breast cancer and are known to increase in size and tenderness in relation to the menstrual cycles due to hormonal changes.In many cases fibroadenomas could go away on their own within a few years.
The development of these tumors is probably related to reproductive hormones.(Estrogen)
Just as an excess of natural estrogen may fuel the growth of a breast tumor, too much of the soy products, in concentrated form in many over-the-counter nutritional supplements, may set the stage for tumor development.
Some reports states that low fat, high fiber diets,or diets high in soybean and low in caffeine are associated with a decreased incidence of fibroadenoma.But these reports do not prove that these diets directly caused the decrease in fibroadenoma occurrence.So we really don't know for sure if these diets actually help,because not enough studies have been done yet on people to determine whether or not high concentrations of those isoflavones may encourage the growth of breast tumors.
I hope this helps and best wishes to you..
