Hello madam, well from the history you have given.....yes it is always better to consult a surgeon,since you are 56 years and post menopausal,malignancy has to be ruled...thought your scan shows benign, mostly could be a fibroadenoma,depending on your age factor and post menopausal status, a detail history and a complete physical examination Is required before coming to a conclusion......hope i was helpful to you. ...
