What is Breast Fibroadenoma?
Breast fibroadenoma is a non-cancerous (benign) lump that often develops in the breast tissue. It’s most common in women under 30 but can occur at any age. While these lumps are usually painless and harmless, they can sometimes cause discomfort or concern.
Symptoms of Breast Fibroadenoma
- A smooth, firm, or rubbery lump in the breast that moves easily when touched.
- The lump may feel round or oval-shaped.
- Size can vary, and it may grow or shrink over time.
- Usually painless, but some women may experience tenderness or discomfort.
If you notice any unusual changes in your breasts, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis.
How is Breast Fibroadenoma Diagnosed?
At IR Clinic, we use advanced diagnostic tools to confirm the presence of fibroadenoma:
- Clinical Breast Exam: A physical examination to assess the lump
- Ultrasound: Imaging to evaluate the size, shape, and characteristics of the lump
- Mammogram: For women over 30, a mammogram may be recommended
- Biopsy: A small tissue sample may be taken to rule out other conditions
