Oh Fibro...not again?

Hi,

2018, I had a Fibroadenoma removed from my left breast. It got bigger and then shrunk, got bigger and yarn shrunk, was painful around the time of my period, so I requested for it to be removed. Shortly after, another appeared. It started off small but has gradually got bigger. Each month, it gets bigger and then shrinks, gets bigger, and then shrinks. So the point now both breasts over the last few months are very sore around the time of the month (the fibro is in my left breast, where the first one was). 
 

Has anyone else experienced similar? I'm going to go go to my GP, and get them to check it out. I'm fed up with these, as I never experienced this in my teenage years / 20s.

    Poor you - it's unfortunate that another one has appeared and that it also keeps getting bigger then shrinking. You are right to go to your GP and get them to check it out. Do mention your history, that you had a fibroadenoma removed from your left breast in 2018. 

    I hope that you get some answers on this soon and that you will hear from others here who have experienced this too. 

    Best wishes,
