Fibrocystic changes are the most frequently occurring benign conditions of breast disease. Women of 20 to 50 years of age who frequently encounter various forms of stressors have the highest incidence of fibrocystic breast disease (FBD). In cases, where any palpable mass is detected after clinical examination, mammograms and ultrasonography (USG) are the most common investigative tools for the next level of assessment. Five patients with FBD were treated with homoeopathic medicines in our hospital within a period of 3 years under the project: ‘Homoeopathic management of benign neoplastic lesions of breast: an evidence-based study’. The diagnosis was based on clinical examination and USG. We followed standard homoeopathic guidelines for the final selection of medicines. Individualised homoeopathic medicines were used to treat these cases. The clinical assessment was done every month and objective assessment was done after serial USG reports at every 6-month interval. All the patients had notable improvements during treatment as inferred clinically as well as from the USG reports. Few associated symptoms improved too. Assessment of the causal attribution of the outcomes of the treated cases to the homoeopathic intervention was done using Modified Naranjo Criteria. ‘Definite’ association was found in four out of five cases and one case showed a ‘probable’ association. Therefore, we may conclude that homoeopathic treatment can be useful in treating FBD. Good-quality clinical trials are needed before making any firm recommendation.

Fibroadenoma is the most common benign tumor occurring in young to middle aged women which disappear after the menopause. Though few cases remain asymptomatic throughout, but the tumor may progress to carcinoma. The conventional treatment includes surgical excision and cryoblation [1] . Symptomatic treatment through homoeopathy can be effective as seen in previous studies [2,3] . In this case report, a female aged 33 years of age suffering from fibroadenoma breast, diagnosed in 2015 is given constitutional homoeopathic treatment. After three months of treatment the sonographic report shows normal findings.

“…Evidence exists for the association of these gynecologic benign tumors with demographic, anthropometric, genetic, and hormonal factors [8][9][10]. Despite this evidence, it is unclear if these factors confound the association between breast fibroadenomas and uterine fibroids.…”

Introduction Uterine fibroids and breast fibroadenomas are common female benign neoplasms that are similarly derived from a single clonal origin and are modulated by estradiol concentration in blood. However, the association between these neoplasms has not yet been explored. Hence, this study aims to investigate the relationship between uterine fibroids and breast fibroadenomas. Methods A total of 199 women (cases: 72 women with uterine fibroids, control: 127 women without uterine fibroids) were included in this study. Ultrasound was used to screen for uterine fibroids, and both ultrasound and biopsy were utilized to diagnose breast fibroadenomas. Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the association between uterine fibroids and breast fibroadenomas and the factors associated with the relationship. Results Women with uterine fibroids have more than two times higher odds of having breast fibroadenomas among older women (p=0.03), more than twofold increased odds of breast fibroadenomas among obese females (p=0.05), and higher odds of having breast fibroadenomas among postmenopausal transition participant groups (OR=9.6; 95% CI 1.98-30.14; p-value=0.005). Conclusion The association between uterine fibroids and breast fibroadenomas is significantly pronounced among older, obese, and postmenopausal women. This relationship might be driven by the indirect stimulation of estrogen hormone receptors via adipose tissue or other lifestyle as well as genetic factors. Therefore, further larger prospective studies considering these factors are needed to replicate the current findings.
