breast lump reoccurrence

I have a daughter who will be 18yrs in Aug. And she had two lumps removed from her breasts these last two years. And we discover another one last week or so. What can be done to stop the reoccurrence? Pls I'm so concerned and worried. She's only a girl. And why is it coming back every year? Will really appreciate a reply soon. Thanks.

Ive been checking for response ever since i post the comment. Thank you so much for your response. We have seen our family doctor and he confirmed what you said. The two lumps that were removed are benign. And I've advised her to change her diet. You know; no more junks and all. Vegetables and fruits. And I pray it doesn't come back. Cuz it bothers me a lot. So I'm really monitoring her. Thank you so much. I appreciate your response.

Hi,
I'm sorry to hear that at a young age, your daughter is experiencing all of these things.  Now that you have removed them, I hope they are benign tumours or fibro-adenomas. The fibro-adenomas are benign and there is no concrete evidence that this can transform to a malignancy.
There are many causes of breast lumps. Some of these causes are harmless, while others can be painful and dangerous. Causes of breast lumps include infections, injuries, non-cancerous growths, and cancer. The treatment of a breast lump depends on its cause.
Higher intake of fruits and vegetables, higher number of live births, use of oral contraceptives and moderate exercise are associated with lower frequency of fibro-adenomas. Discuss with your Doctor.
The answer is based on information provided. Exact advice is not possible without a proper examination and investigations. You are requested to consult your Doctor. Take care and keep us posted.
