Benign Breast Diseases

Benign breast diseases are tumors that do not spread beyond the breast, such as fibroadenomas, breast cysts, papillomas, and sclerosing adenosis. They are non-cancerous growths that can occur in both women and men, and are generally not life-threatening. However, these diseases can affect a person's breast size and shape, cause pain, and can be emotionally distressing. Early and accurate diagnosis with mammograms or ultrasounds, and proper treatment with surgical removal, are important for managing benign breast diseases. With early detection and proper treatment, benign breast diseases can be managed, allowing people to have good quality of life.
