Patient's question:
On the right nipple, slightly elevated by 0.5 cm, there is a hard, round lump, which is likely a fibroadenoma. I previously had a fibroadenoma removed from my left breast. I would like to ask if this one can be left untreated, as I haven't had children yet and am concerned that surgery might limit my ability to breastfeed if I have children in the future.Doctor's answer:
Based on the medical history, it is more likely that the condition is a fibroadenoma of the breast. It is recommended to visit the breast department of a local hospital for a follow-up examination and undergo a breast ultrasound or mammography. After confirmation, determine the size of the lump or any discomfort symptoms, and then decide on further surgical options. Please do not worry, as surgery will not interfere with breastfeeding. Fibroadenomas are more common in young women and are frequently found in patients aged 20 to 25. The clinical presentation typically involves the discovery of a breast lump during a follow-up visit, with physical examination findings including a smooth surface, clear boundaries, and good mobility.
