HI,Dear,Thanks for your query to HCM virtual Clinic.
I studied your query in all the details put forth by you.
I understood your health concerns about the Cause of recurring lump below your breast,which you feel sometimes and sometimes not.
This is because of the growing Breast MOUSE,or Fibrocystic disease with Fibroadenoma in the lump,which lately has grown and is due to the hormonal cycles in the females.
You shouldn't be concerned for its movement to other places,as doctor's have labelled such fibroadeomas as "Breast Mouse" since long due to such movements of this tumor.
Don't worry as these lump are benign in nature and may vanish as the age increase or may present in some females as the "Fibrocystic Disease of Breast" with painful lumps with each of the monthly cycle.
Treatment -
-As the its with very small duration, I would suggest you to Consult a ER Surgeon and get the physical examination and his Second Opinion on it.
-I would suggest you to WAIT before any surgical action is planned and study its behaviour and progress.
-In this period I would try to modulate and restrict its growth by
Capsule-Vit E 400 mg -1 x 2 times a day for 3 months,which may cause dissolution of this lump by correcting hormonal and other imbalances.
-If it still doesn't respond as expected and mastalgia /Mastodynia,or its growth continues,then I would suggest to use
Tab Danazole 200 mgm x 2 times per day,
or if no relief Tab Tamoxifen 10 mg per day
-Primrose oil to reduce the soreness in the lump.
-Sport Breast brassieres would reduce any accompanied pain in breasts
-or if no relief, in next 3-6 mths,then FNAC Biospy, with repeat mammogram, to rule out any calcified focus.
and then plan a Surgical Excision Biopsy of the Fibroadenoma with HPR, would treat it finally.
Confirm any armpit accompanied lump and armpit nodes with its HPR study,,before definitive surgery is planned as above.
This would help you to plan treatment with your ER surgeon.
Hope this reply would satisfy your query and worry with it
