Breast Lumps & Fibroadenomas

What are Breast Lumps & Fibroadenomas?

A breast lump is any swelling, growth, or abnormal tissue in the breast. While not all lumps are cancerous, proper evaluation is essential. One common type is a fibroadenoma—a benign (non-cancerous) tumor usually found in younger women.

At Jayaram Hospital, Karimnagar, we offer safe, prompt assessment and surgical care for all types of breast lumps, with complete privacy and support.

Symptoms

• Noticeable lump or swelling in the breast

• Change in breast shape or size

• Breast pain or tenderness

• Nipple discharge (clear or bloody)

• Skin changes (dimpling, redness, or puckering)

• A firm, movable lump that doesn’t go away over time

Causes

• Hormonal changes (especially in young women)

• Benign tumors like fibroadenomas or cysts

• Breast infections or abscesses

• Fibrocystic changes

• Rarely, early signs of breast cancer (requires further testing)

Treatment at Jayaram Hospital

We follow a step-by-step, ethical approach to breast lump evaluation and treatment:

• Breast examination and medical history

• Ultrasound, mammography, or FNAC (needle testing)

• Monitoring of benign fibroadenomas (if small and painless)

• Surgical removal (lump excision) when necessary

• Referral for biopsy or oncological care (if suspicious findings)

Every case is handled with care, clarity, and complete patient confidentiality.

When to See a Doctor?

If you notice any new lump, breast discomfort, or changes in breast appearance, don’t delay seeking medical advice. Early diagnosis ensures peace of mind and better outcomes.
