Hi,

What is your age?

Fibroadenomas are benign breast lesions that are usually managed conservatively or non surgically. They are followed up with regular breast self examinations, periodic clinical breast examinations, and repeat mammogram at 1 year.

Fibroadenomas are known to increase in size and tenderness in relation to the menstrual cycles due to hormonal changes.

These usually regress at menopause. They are surgically removed only if they are very large and causing pressure symptoms or pain.

Let us know about how you are doing and if you have any other doubts.

Hope this helps.

Regards.
