All about Fibroadenomas - with Dr Tasha

Today we are going to dive into an important topic that effects many women - Fibroadenomas.
Fibroadenomas are the non-cancerous benign breast lumps. They are made of combination of glandular as well as fibrous tissues. Now fibroadenomas can develop in any parts of the breast and it can affect women of all ages, but mostly common found in women in their twenties and thirties. However, it can also occur in older women and even in teenage girls.
The exact cause of fibroadenomas is still unknown. To know more about it, watch the video till the end.

Thank you!! The issue for me lies with not knowing if it is in fact a fibroadenoma. They say it’s 98% certain but that could definitely still be something

I have multiple breast cyst but I believe in Jesus. God healed me and got normal reports. Thanks Jesus

Back in 2014 I found an egg sized lump in my breast, and two small pea sized ones on the other breast. When my mother and grandmother were the same age as I was they both had egg sized cysts removed. So we assumed mine was also a cyst. Cysts and breast cancer both run heavy in the family. They decided to surgically removed mine. But all three came back as just benign tumors. (No one else in the family that we r aware of ever had just regular benign tumors, it was always cyst or cancer). Since then I have had regular checks. A few tiny cyst were found but nothing else. A couple years ago I then started having some breast discharge. Another check was done, by noting found. Now just this morning I found a ping pong sized lump in the same exact area where I had that egg sized one removed back in 2014. But have to wait till tomorrow before calling the doc about it cause it is currently the weekend.

[@nts5258]

How was your latest check up with the doctor? Kindly share your experiences with us too

[@carriehollyland3596]

@@nts5258 so went in to see the doc and they did a mammogram and ultrasounds. The lump that I felt is actually two lumps, both were large cysts, and I also have a bunch of smaller cysts riddled throughout both breasts. They decided to aspirate the two larger cysts and send it off for testing.

[@akshatam534]

Were they so big? And also did it pain?

[@wonpilscindy]

hi doctor, i just did a surgery of taking the fibroadenomas out 2 months ago and ive recently felt that theres a little lump ( i could say its probably like pea bean sized ) it doesnt hurt but if i pressed it hard , it'll actually hurt. does this kind of lump usually showed up after every fibroadenoma surgery as a part of healing process ? im just kind of worried 😢

[@Rashmivlog155]

How are you now??mine is 5 Cm nd I am so scared 😟

[@nadkence]

I thought thermal microwave ablation is a treatment option beyond surgery.

[@drtashag]

It isn’t standard practice.

[@aura9773]

Is it bad if a fibroadenoma is visible through the skin? I have some on my breasts, and I can very clearly see it on the skin surface without even needing to touch it to find where it is :( i am so scared

[@mrembomrembo2832]

Is fibroadenoma same to mondor's disease?

[@drtashag]

Hi, no they are different conditions.

[@Yonellaur]

Can castor oil work on shrinking fibroadenoma

[@drtashag]

Never heard of that but unlikely it will work.

[@AzubuikeOmenyi-zg2fe]

Dr i have fibroadenoma hope if i remove it. It will not come back

There is always a small chance of recurrence but hopefully not.

[@queenbee4618]

When and why are biopsys taken? I had a ultrasound today and a biopsy was taken at the same time?

[@drtashag]

Biopsies are normally done to confirm a diagnosis.

[@queenbee4618]

@drtashag First of all Thank you for replying. Are biopsys normal procedure for fibroadenoma as this is what I was told it probably is, again Thank you.

[@tashagandamihardja890]

Possibly but it needs to be looked at

Can fibroadenomas remove permanently?

Fibroadenomas can be excised and not come back. But they can also recur.

Does fibroadenoma stop your breast from developing and growing the way it is supposed to??

No it shouldn’t really.
