Risk Factors
- The table below lists the risk factors involved in the development of fibroadenoma:
Risk Factor | Description |
---|---|
Obesity | An increase in BMI is correlated with an increased risk of fibroadenoma development. |
Estrogen replacement therapy | Estrogen replacement therapy is correlated with an increased risk of fibroadenoma development. |
Pregnancy | Nulliparous women are associated with an increased risk of fibroadenoma development. Whereas multiparous women are associated with a lower risk of fibroadenoma development. |
Contraception | The use of oral contraceptive pills is associated with a lower risk of fibroadenoma development as compared to other contraceptive methods. |
Socioeconomic status | A higher socioeconomic status is correlated with an increased risk of fibroadenoma development. |
