I also have fibroids in my breasts. My doctor also found some when he did an ultrasound.. So I guess those are called uterine fibroids? It's definitely not cancer and really are harmless, except that they have a potential to be painful!
I have 2 large fibroids which were discovered after I had pregnancy problems. Two pregnancies failed, possibly due to the fibroids, but I then went on to have two healthy boys, so don't worry too much. You can carry full term even with fibroids. I will not do anything about mine unless they begin to cause further problems but it is worth taking the advice of the health professionals. Good luck
I have them in my breasts and have repeatedly been told there is NOTHING to worry about. I have heard about women that have so many in their breasts that it feels like they have a couple of rolls of quarters in there. Don't stress ... MANY women have them.
A fibroid is not cancer. It's a kind of an overgrowth of tissue. A fibroid can take up a lot of room in a uterus, and also interfere with your period (make it irregular or longer). So it's good to have uterine fibroids removed. Google "uterine fibroid" for a lot of info. The only thing is, don't let any doctor tell you you automatically need a hysterectomy, you can have a fibroid removed without going that far.
