hi ,im 21 and i recently noticed two lumps  in  both my breasts just under the skin , my doctor told me its  bilateral  fibroadnosis and the lumps move when touched , my doctor told me not to worry but im still worried , what is this disease in simple terms and does it cause cancer ?
Hi. Fortunately such lumps never cause a cancer. So no worries, please. IF the lumps are round and move easily under the skin and are painless-they are fibroadenomas- can not cause cancer. It the lumps are diffuse, ill-defined and cause pain prior to periods, they are fibroadenomas. These also Do NOT cause cancer. But cause pain and discomfort. If you still have doubts - you can go for a simple test of FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology for confirmation or get them removed.
