What is a Breast Fibroadenoma?

A Fibroadenoma is a non-cancerous lump in the breast made of fibrous and glandular tissue.

Fibroadenoma occurs in women of any age, but is more commonly seen in young females between 15 to 35 years. These tumors may grow in size under hormone levels and can shrink and even disappear during menopause. Their average size ranges from 1 to 2.5 cm in diameter. They can also grow larger than 5 cm called giant fibroadenomas. They are usually single, but in 10-15% of patients, they can be multiple.

What are the Symptoms of Fibroadenoma?

The normal breast tissue often feels lumpy in healthy women. So, you must seek medical help if you observe one or more of the following symptoms.

• Detection of a new breast lump

• Observation of other changes in the breasts

• Increase in the size of a breast lump that is already under medical observation

• The distinct appearance of an existing lump from the surrounding breast tissue

Also, the following pointers depict some of the unique characteristics of fibroadenomas.

• Solid breast lumps

• Can be moved under the breast skin

• Firm or rubbery texture

• Do not cause any pain

Nevertheless, you cannot conclude that it is a fibroadenoma merely by sensing these characteristics of the lump. As such, it’s best to consult your doctors at Lotus Hospital, Faridabad for the correct diagnosis. Your doctor would ask you to take a breast mammogram or an ultrasound, subject to your age and physical condition, whether pregnant or not.

What are the causes of Fibroadenoma?

Most of the time the cause is not known, but research suggests that it might be linked to the changing levels of reproductive hormones.
