Surgery is the treatment if you want cure, but not mandatory you can wait and observe for increase in size or pain within the swelling.If these symptoms are present it's better you get it operated.

Have you done ultrasound? Surgery is the treatment. If size of lump is more than 2.5 - 3cm then surgery is the choice.

Greetings!
Normal development in breast has its ebbs and flow. Nodularity (lumps) come and go due to hormonal changes happening in menstrual cycle.
A Fibroadenoma is one of the few aberrations that happen from this normal cyclical change.
It is a benign disease.
Can be followed up with a single surgeon (as he/she can keep track of the changes that happen over years)
Surgery is usually done when
- it is associated with troubling symptoms of pain or nipple discharge,
- cosmetic issues,
- sudden abrupt change in size and consistency within a weeks time
- any signs of malignancy on ultrasound scan
I would suggest you to follow it up with the same surgeon and get a followup USG scan done.
Thank you
