BIRADs 4: Since your BIRADs score went up to four it appears the lesion has a higher chance of being malignant and A biopsy is more likely recommended. It is known that pregnancy can cause an increase in size of a breast adenoma. If you haven't been followed and advised by a breast surgeon, please consult one now for evaluation, advice and follow-up.
