Health Information

Fibroadenoma is the most common type of benign tumor found in the breast, primarily affecting young women aged 15 to 35.

Breast cancer often does not present any warning signs, making regular check-ups essential. Doctors recommend that women over 20 perform monthly self-breast examinations, ideally 7 to 10 days after their menstrual period ends.

When a lump is detected during a routine breast examination, a breast surgeon will typically perform a triple assessment. The first step is a comprehensive breast examination, which includes palpation to assess any abnormalities in breast lumps, nipple discharge, skin changes, and other relevant signs.
