Fibroadenomas

What is a Fibroadenoma

Fibroadenomas are common non-cancerous breast lumps that many women in their 20s & 30s experience at some point in their lives. These lumps are made up of glandular and connective breast tissue and are usually painless, firm, smooth, and rubbery to the touch. They can also vary in size and may be discovered during a routine mammogram.

Causes of Fibroadenomas

The exact cause of fibroadenomas is unknown, but hormonal fluctuations, such as those that occur during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause, may play a role in their development.

Conclusion

Its important to consult with a healthcare provider if you notice any changes in your breasts or feel a lump. While fibroadenomas are typically benign, its essential to rule out any serious conditions and discuss the best course of action for your individual situation.
