Question

I have multiple fibroadenomas in both breasts with sizes ranging from 5.6mm to 16mm and some small simple cysts too. The report says the lesions are well-circumscribed and the background tissue looks normal. Should I consider surgery for these or can they be managed with medications? What are the risks if I go for surgery?

Fibroadenomas are usually benign and don't require surgery unless they cause pain or changes in size. Discuss with your doctor about whether monitoring or surgery is the best option.
