Fibroid in left breast
I have a cyst measuring 24x6 mm and many other hypoechoic nodules measuring 20x15mm and 13x7 mm on my left breast. Nodules are described as fibroadenomas.
My doctor was suggesting surgery. Is it possible to reduce this nodules and cyst with medication?
Please suggest.

If you have any discomfort, get the surgery done, if you are asymptomatic you can wait

Fibroadenoma needs to be treated with surgery. It has no medication the same way it has no symptoms. For such small tumor, surgery will be only for cosmetic reasons or fear.
