Adenoma's are fibrous masses, if it moves odds are it's an adenoma. If it hurts it's a cyst. Adenoma's have a weird shape to them most of the time, and although they don't medically need to be taken out they should. They can and eventually will get bigger and deform your breast. It's not a painful surgery, just a lot of bruising. If not on health insurance it costs about 7-9,000 dollars. But if you live in the us and are under the age of 18, I'd recommend applying for Medicare. They will cover it fully. And its super awesome and stress relieving. They also can come back. So make sure to get yourself checked regularly. I think my doctor said that it increases your risk for breast cancer because your cells are clumped...? I don't remember though. It was about 4 years ago.

I would highly recommend going. Its best to make sure that you are healthy, no one wants to see it get worse. If you are under insurance then there is no harm in checking it out!

I did that too when I was 17, i was feeling myself up. Then I felt this huge golf ball sized mass. And I told my mom and she told me I was probably overreacting. I had to harass her for like 3 days before she would check it herself. (She's a nurse) and then she took me to the doctor while crying uncontrollably. Mammogram, ultrasound, surgery. I was lucky though. Mine was just an adenoma. Good luck! :)
