Finding a lump in the breast can be a frightening experience. Fortunately, not all lumps are dangerous. Fibroadenoma, one of the most common benign breast tumors, is completely non-cancerous and often occurs in young women between 15 to 35 years of age.
While fibroadenomas are generally harmless, they can cause anxiety, discomfort, pain, or cosmetic concerns — especially when they grow large or multiple. Traditionally, surgery was the only treatment option, which often left visible scars and emotional distress.
Today, there is a better way — Fibroadenoma Breast Ablation — a minimally invasive, scarless procedure that removes the lump without affecting breast shape or function. Now available at CVIC Indore (Central Vascular & Interventional Clinic), this advanced treatment is changing how women manage their breast health — confidently and painlessly.
What is Fibroadenoma?
A fibroadenoma is a solid, non-cancerous (benign) breast lump made up of glandular and connective tissue. It feels firm, smooth, rubbery, and moves easily under the skin.
They can range in size from a few millimeters to several centimeters and may occur in one or both breasts. In most cases, they are discovered during a self-exam, clinical exam, or breast ultrasound.
Types of Fibroadenoma:
1. Simple Fibroadenoma – Most common, no increased cancer risk
2. Complex Fibroadenoma – Contains other changes like cysts or calcifications
3. Giant Fibroadenoma – More than 5 cm in size
4. Juvenile Fibroadenoma – Found in adolescent girls
Symptoms of Fibroadenoma
• A painless, smooth, and mobile breast lump
• Feeling of fullness or heaviness in the breast
• Occasional tenderness (especially during menstrual cycles)
• Cosmetic discomfort (visible lump or asymmetry)
• Emotional anxiety about breast health
Even though fibroadenomas are non-cancerous, many women choose to remove them due to fear, aesthetics, or discomfort.
Traditional Treatment: Open Surgery
Until recently, the only option for treating symptomatic fibroadenomas was open surgical excision — typically performed under general anesthesia.
Drawbacks of Surgical Removal:
• Requires stitches and a visible scar on the breast
• Risk of damaging breast tissue or milk ducts
• Can affect breast shape and symmetry
• Psychological impact (especially for young, unmarried women)
• Longer recovery time
Fibroadenoma Ablation – The Scarless Solution
Fibroadenoma Ablation is a non-surgical, image-guided treatment that uses focused thermal energy (Radiofrequency or Microwave) to destroy the tumor tissue without cutting into the breast.
Performed under local anesthesia, the procedure is safe, precise, and leaves no scars — preserving both cosmetic appearance and breast function.
How Does It Work?
The ablation procedure involves placing a small needle-like probe directly into the fibroadenoma under ultrasound guidance. Energy is then delivered at the tip, which generates heat and destroys the lump from inside.
Techniques Used at CVIC Indore:
1. Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)
2. Microwave Ablation (MWA)
Over time, the dead tissue is absorbed naturally by the body, and the lump shrinks or disappears completely.
Step-by-Step Procedure at CVIC Indore
Step 1: Diagnosis & Confirmation
• Breast ultrasound and/or mammography to identify and measure the fibroadenoma
• Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) or Core Needle Biopsy to confirm benign nature
• Clinical consultation to assess symptoms and suitability
Step 2: Pre-Procedural Preparation
• Blood tests and safety checks
• Detailed counseling and consent
• No general anesthesia needed
Step 3: Ablation Procedure
• Done under local anesthesia
• Ultrasound is used to guide a fine ablation probe into the center of the lump
• Thermal energy is applied for 5–10 minutes
• The fibroadenoma is destroyed from inside while surrounding tissue is protected
• Total procedure time: 30–45 minutes
Step 4: Post-Procedure Recovery
• No hospitalization needed
• No stitches or dressings
• Light activity can resume the same or next day
Who Is a Good Candidate for Fibroadenoma Ablation?
You may consider ablation if:
• You have a confirmed benign fibroadenoma
• The lump is growing, painful, or causing anxiety
• You want to avoid scars and preserve breast appearance
• You are a young woman concerned about cosmetic or emotional effects
• You have multiple fibroadenomas
• Surgery was advised but you want a non-invasive option
If your biopsy shows atypical cells or malignancy suspicion, surgery may still be required. Ablation is strictly for benign cases.
