A member asked:

I have a fibroadenoma lump 3cm on my left breast, is it necessary to surgically extract it? because i honestly dont want to have a surgery

A doctor has provided 1 answer

How do you know?: How do you know that it is a fibroadenoma? Did you have a needle biopsy? If it was not diagnosed by a pathologist from a tissue biopsy, you owe it to yourself to have it removed. It could be removed under local anesthesia.
