Hi doctor,
I have a nodule on my breast. It is present for more than two years. I feel pain on touching the nodule. I had an ultrasound of the breast nodule and attached the same for your reference.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand that you are worried, but based on the report (attachment removed to protect patient identity) it is quite clear that you have a benign lump known as fibroadenoma. It is a part of normal changes that occur in the breast with age. It can be observed as such as it does not transform into malignancy. If it is bothering you by causing pain or cosmetically not acceptable, then you can get it surgically removed.
