General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Lump in the breast what you are describing seems to be 'fibroadenoma'.
It is a non-cancerous tumor composed of fibrous and glandular tissue. It cannot be cured by taking any medication. They are partially hormone-dependent and usually regress after menopause.
Most fibroadenoma are left untreated and monitored. Only some of them, which increase in size or for cosmetic reasons may require surgical excision.
In case you need to confirm the diagnosis, you can get a fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) done.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
I find this answer helpful
