Question 1

I was recently diagnosed with fibroadenoma and have four lumps one was removed (5.3 cm) but the others are smaller. Can they be treated with medication or will I need surgery for those too? I've attached my biopsy report for reference.

Small fibroadenomas are often monitored; surgery is only needed if they grow, cause symptoms, or raise diagnostic concerns.

kindly share report

I found an echogenic mass lesion in my breast that's 22020 mm in size on ultrasound and the doctor recommended surgery. Is surgery really necessary for this kind of mass? What could be causing it and are there other options?

A 22x20 mm echogenic breast lesion could suggest a fibroadenoma or benign tumor, but surgery is often advised to rule out malignancy. A biopsy or FNAC may help confirm before proceeding.
