Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

These are one kind of benign breast disease due to hormonal effects with no potential for becoming malignant. However, a malignancy might co exist with this normal hormonal changes, and it should be reviewed periodically as per your doctor's advice,especially in those with a family history of breast cancer or any other gynaecological cancer. This is not to frighten you, but to provide you with necessary information so that you could be more vigilant.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
