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.

I have a 7mm umbilical hernia and I've been going to the gym and lifting weights. Is there any way to cure this without surgery and could working out make the hernia worse
A 7mm umbilical hernia, while small, generally cannot be cured without surgery in adults. While exercise can help strengthen abdominal muscles, activities that increase pressure in the abdomen, like heavy lifting or sit-ups, can worsen the hernia. It's best to consult a doctor for advice on managing your hernia and safe exercise
