Breast Adenoma?


I had a routine checking and they found a small lump and told me to do a biopsy.
I am so scared about it,
Why to do it if anyone want to be health and live, anyone I think want to be benign adenoma,
I do not understand why to do it.
I have 39 yo

I am 34 yrs old and at the age of 29, they found a "spot" in my breast. Fortunately, I had a biopsy, because breast cancer runs in the family and I had previous problems before. At 29 I had to have a double mastectomy, and reconstructive surgery. 5 yrs later I feel great, look great and most important.......I'm alive and able to take care of my children. I don't know how old you are, it don't really matter. If the Dr. says have a biopsy, I think you should. Maybe get a second opinion first. Did you see a breast specialist or a family Dr.?
If it is in fact the Adenoma, a breast specialist shouldn't recommend a biopsy I wouldn't think Take those into consideration. A breast spec. deals with this every day. Good Luck and I hope everything goes well for you.

i dont know, i think you should go for it, cause it it is breast cancer that would really not be good.

a biopsy is when they just take a small portion of the lump and analyze it in a lab to figure out what exactly you have
its nothing to be scared of

You doctor wants to be certain that the lump is truely a fibroadenoma, which is benign and that he is 100% certain on the diagnosis.

Fibroadenoma is a smooth, rubbery or hard lump that moves easily within the breast tissue. It is most often found in teenagers and younger women and African American women. A Fibroadenoma is typically not cancerous. Fibroadenomas are solid, smooth, firm, benign lumps that are most commonly found in women in their late teens and early 20s. They are the most common benign lumps that occur in women and can occur in women of any age. Increasingly, they are being seen in postmenopausal women who are taking hormone replacement therapy. The painless lump feels rubbery and moves around freely and very often is found by the woman herself. They vary in size and can grow anywhere in the breast tissue.

The diagnosis is confirmed by mammography or ultrasound and fine-needle aspiration. Sometimes, in very young women, the fibroadenoma is not removed. However, since sometimes these tumors enlarge with pregnancy and breastfeeding, physicians may recommend surgically removing the fibroadenoma. A fibroadenoma is not cancer and does not lead to cancer, but sometimes an office exam, mammography and doctor cannot distinguish between a fibroadenoma or a cancer and therefore some type of breast biopsy is indicated.
