Hi,

Considering your age and the description that you are giving the breast lesions seem to be fibroadenomas most probably.

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.

You could consult your doctor for a clinical evaluation and a confirmed diagnosis.

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

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Has your doctor prescribed any medications? What diagnosis did he/she say?

Din't you ask him/her the details about what infection, etc?

If it is infection, you would need a course of antibiotics.

Let us know about how you are doing.

Hi,

If these lumps are related to your menstrual cycles , then these are most probably fibroadenomas and not due to infection.

You need to talk to your doctor in detail about this and also ask him/her te name of the medications you are taking.

Are you seeing a breast specialist?

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

Hope this helps.

Hi,

The infection could be localised and not causing a fever that's why.

You definitely need a clinical examination by a certified physician for a confirmed diagnosis.
