### Human:\nis surgery the only option for a smaller fibroadenoma removal? . i have recently been diagnosed with fibroadenoma and it is 3. 6 cms in size in my breast at 8o'clock position. i have been monitored since 2012 with mammograms and ultrasound every 6 months and the size was steady until my last ultrasound which showed a 0. 3 mm increase over the previous one. i have developed some pain since then. i had an ultrasound guided biopsy and the results show it is benign. is cryoabalation advisable in my case? or surgery the only option?\n\n### Assistant: hi as its started top grow this is normal to have it removed they just are being on the safe side for your health. hope this helps you. good luck
