Common risk factors in the development of fibroadenoma are obesity, eostrogen replacement therapy, and nulliparity.[1][2]
Risk Factors
| 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. |
