Talk to surgeon: If the lesion is getting larger and is painful, surgical removal may be the best answer. Talk to your surgeon to determine the proper course of action for you.

Although: A fibroadenoma is benign, if it is enlarging and painful, it might be time to have it removed. Consult with a breast surgeon for further discussion.
