I have fibroadenoma since past 3 years. I haven't been operated yet. Since past 1 week, i have noticed a flattened irregular movable lump in my breast while palpating. There is no pain associated. Why is this so?

Is the swelling you notice now the same as the previously diagnosed fibro adenoma or is this the same one which has become bigger ( previously not palpable). If its mobile and not hurting you, and given your age - it is likely to be a fibro adenoma (benign). The treatment for this would be surgical removal. But do monitor it through regular self examination and consult a doctor if it is increasing in size or seems harder.
Next Steps
Self examination at regular intervals. Fnac

Do not worry as it is benign lesion. Get an usg breast done. You will need to have small surgery for removal of fibro adenoma.

Hi,although you dint mention the size,any breast lump warrants a diagnostic modality like FNAC to be done 1st and as you are much younger,I suggest to undergo ultrasound breast rather than mammography and yes,even though it’s benign I suggest you to get it removed by surgery. No emergency though.
Next Steps
Ultrasound breast and FNAC

If the diagnosis of fibroadenoma is confirmed, and its size is small you can wait till lockdown is over. Nevertheless you have to get rid of it by operation. Don’t panic, its benign....keep track on symptoms like fever, local discharge etc
