Sclerosing adenosis-Diagnosis that I did write down

Sclerosing adenosis
A guide to diagnosis and treatment
Sclerosing adenosis is a benign condition whereby extra tissue grows within the breast lobules.
It can cause recurring pain, or result in a small, firm lump in the breast.
Diagnosis
Your GP will refer you to a specialist at a breast clinic for a mammogram or ultrasound scan.
Because sclerosing adenosis can be difficult to distinguish from breast cancer, you may be advised to have a biopsy or a small operation to remove the affected area.
The tissue is then tested in the laboratory to confirm the diagnosis.
Sclerosing adenosis is also found by chance on routine mammograms, or following breast surgery.
You can find out more about breast clinic investigations from the link below.
Treatment
Following a clear diagnosis, no further treatment is required, although you may choose to take painkillers if needed.
What this means
Having sclerosing adenosis doesn't increase your risk of breast cancer, but it is important to continue to be breast aware and to go back to your GP if you notice any further changes.
