ABSTRACT

Background: The most prevalent benign breast tumour, fibroadenoma, primarily affects young women and adolescents. Even if a breast lump is benign, finding one frequently causes significant anxiety and fear of cancer, which leads to needless surgery. Imaging and cytological examinations have advanced to the point where accurate diagnosis is now feasible and conservative treatment is supported in certain cases. Aim: The role of individualized constitutional homoeopathic treatment in the conservative management of benign breast fibroadenoma using objective and subjective outcome measures. Materials and Methods: A 19-year-old girl with right breast fibroadenoma was the subject of a retrospective single-case study. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), ultrasonography, and clinical examination were used to confirm the diagnosis. The selection of a remedy was based on miasmatic evaluation, constitutional characteristics, and the totality of symptoms. Clinical follow- up and serial ultrasonography were used to evaluate the treatment outcomes. Results: Following constitutional homoeopathic treatment with Conium maculatum, the fibroadenoma's size was measurably reduced on ultrasonography, and the associated symptoms of anxiety and discomfort also improved. There were no known adverse effects. Conclusion: This case report shows that homoeopathic treatment provides an effective and non- invasive therapeutic method for the conservative management of benign breast fibroadenoma based on the patient's overall symptoms and ongoing monitoring.
