I'm really worried about my wife. She's 23 and has been dealing with fibroadenoma for about 4 years now. There's one in her right breast that's around 3 cm, and it's causing her a lot of fear. We're really hoping to find a way to treat it without surgery. Any advice?

I found an echogenic mass lesion in my breast that's 22020 mm in size on ultrasound and the doctor recommended surgery. Is surgery really necessary for this kind of mass? What could be causing it and are there other options?

A 22x20 mm echogenic breast lesion could suggest a fibroadenoma or benign tumor, but surgery is often advised to rule out malignancy. A biopsy or FNAC may help confirm before proceeding.
