A member asked:

I have fibroadenomas in my breasts. do they pose any risks of complications in the future regarding breastfeeding and is it worth getting them removed? i have gotten mixed opinions from my doctors

Dr. Stuart Hickerson answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Fibroadenoma: In themselves they should not be a problem. Are the growths near where the baby latches on? If causing a physical obstruction that would be a reason to get removed. Do the growths cause you pain or discomfort? That would be another reason to address the issue. If the growths are not affecting you then I would leave alone.

Dr Hegab and another doctor agreed

Do doctors write clinical notes that I don't see. I can't find my fibroadenoma on my medical history. It just says I called in with a question about my breast finding from my breast exam, but it doesn't elaborate.
