• Risk of Breast Cancer: Though fibroadenomas in most cases do not increase risk of malignant breast tumours but complex fibroadenomas may slightly increase the risk of breast carcinoma.
• Surgery: Early diagnosis, effective and routine monitoring and treatment may save you from going under knife. But surgery may become unavoidable in complex and doubtful biopsy reports. Surgery may affect breast shape or may also leave ugly & painful scar behind. It can also cause post operative infections & bleeding.
• Psychological problems: Constant fear of getting breast cancer even if tumour is diagnosed benign, causes severe psychological and emotional turmoil and may lead to Depression or anxiety disorders.
