Her breasts were abnormally large, and upon examination, a doctor discovered a giant 15 cm tumor.

She went to a medical facility and was diagnosed with a tumor in her right breast. The doctor determined it was a fibroadenoma, a benign tumor.

Worried because the tumor had grown so large that it caused pain and imbalance in her breasts, Ms. T. went to Xuyen A Long An General Hospital for examination and treatment.

After being examined and consulted by doctors, Ms. T. decided to have surgery to remove the tumor in her breast.

Because the patient was a young woman, the doctors of the General Surgery Department consulted and planned surgery to remove the entire tumor in the right breast while still ensuring the patient's aesthetics.

After 90 minutes of surgery, the team removed the entire tumor, which was about 15 cm in size. After more than a week of treatment, she was discharged and returned for regular check-ups as advised by the doctor.

On September 21, specialist doctor 2 Nguyen Vu An - Head of the Department of General Surgery (Xuyen A Long An General Hospital) said that fibroadenoma is the most common benign tumor in women, especially those between the ages of 20 and 40. This is a benign proliferation and is usually not harmful or life-threatening. However, this condition causes discomfort and affects the patient's life. The disease often has no obvious symptoms, many cases are only discovered by chance when self-examining the breast or through periodic health check-ups.

To prevent the disease early, Dr. An recommends:

• Build a balanced diet, combined with regular exercise to help the body stay healthy and maintain a reasonable weight.
• Limit the use of stimulants such as alcohol, beer, and cigarettes, because these substances can reduce resistance and negatively affect the mammary glands.
• Wear a well-fitting bra that avoids excessive compression of the breasts, helping to protect breast tissue from unwanted damage.

"Regular health monitoring and check-ups, especially breast examinations every 6 months, are necessary for early detection and timely treatment. If you detect any unusual signs, you should go to a medical facility for examination and appropriate treatment," Dr. An advised.
