Found a pea-sized lump in my right breast and the mammogram says fibroadenoma BIRADS 2. Do I really need surgery or are there medicines that can help? I'm really concerned about whether this could turn into cancer later

I'm trying to understand what Susten 300 tablets are used for. Are they meant to help with getting my period on track or are they more for supporting pregnancy? I'm a bit confused about this and would really appreciate some guidance.

Susten 300mg contains progesterone, which is a endogenous hormone in the human body. It can be used in various conditions, including to support early pregnancy or for the treatment of dysmenorrhea (irregular periods).
