A member asked:
Could it be healthy for the area around a fibroadenoma be tender?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Assuming the fibroadenoma is in the breast, tenderness in adjacent areas is a reflection of fibrocystic disease. This refers to excess stimulation of the breast tissue by hormones, secondarily affecting the milk ducts to fill with fluid which on palpation presents with tenderness. A mammo can resolve the issue.
