Benign positional vertigo)
lumpsLumps in the breasts that feel smooth, and round. They can vary from very small to quite large (5cm). Fibroadenomas are usually distinct on a mammogram and ultrasound. They are most
commonCommon cold in women in their teens and early 20's but can happen at any age. If the size is stable and the fibroadenomas are not bothering the woman - there may be no reason to remove them. However, if these cause discomfort, they can be removed. It is not uncommon for fibroadenomas to reoccur. In most cases, fibroadenomas will eventually go away. Your sister might benefit from seeing a medical breast specialist for her fibroadenomas. These are often located at large academic medical centers. In terms of her menstrual abnormalities, a gynecologist is best suited to address this.
