Question
I've had a lump in my right breast, around 35 cm, slightly toward the lower side, for about 5 years now. Tried homeopathy but didn't see much improvement. Got a mammogram in 2017 which showed it's a fibroadenoma, and the doctor advised removing it soon, but I'm not keen on surgery. Can it be treated with medication instead? If not, what could happen if I leave it since it doesn't bother me much just occasional mild pain during my period. Also, my periods have been irregular for the past 23 months, sometimes late by 2-3 days or up to a week, but recently it was two weeks late. Could this be related to the lump? Should I be worried?

Long-standing fibroadenoma usually needs surgical removal if symptomatic; medications don’t shrink it, and leaving it may risk growth or discomfort, though not typically linked to periods.
