Endometriosis and breast fibroadenomas

[Ecclesiastical]

hello,

I just wondered if anyone had experienced multiple fibroadenomas with endometriosis. I have deep infiltrating endometriosis. I had a breast biopsy last August due to a pea size lump in my breast which turned out to be a fibroid however since then I’ve had endo excision surgery, taken progesterone and sadly had two miscarriages. The lump is now doubled in size and is quite painful. I’ve had breast lumps since my early teens and I’m now curious as to whether there’s any link between the two.

Hi! 💜 I have Fibroadenoma too but mine aren't big enough to remove, I've had them for quite a few years and they've definitely gotten bigger but every time I call up to get them checked they're not really bothered about them. I have suspected endo, still waiting but I'm meeting gynae at the end of the month. I was put on provera but my gp advised against it because it causes breast lumps, I started feeling so tender there it felt like they'd grown but when I went like I said they didn't seem to care??? Got me a bit confused.

I haven't seen many others saying on here they have Fibroadenoma but I'm sure they're must be some sort of link! You're not alone 💜💜💜

I had a large fibroadenoma removed when I was 26. I was diagnosed with endo at 35 then had hyperthyroidism at 40. I'm beginning to think they are all linked to each other
