Fibroadenoma of the breast generally does not prevent having a second child. Breast fibroadenoma is a benign tumor and does not affect normal fertility or breastfeeding. However, although fibroadenomas are benign, hormonal changes during pregnancy may potentially worsen the condition. Therefore, it is recommended that patients undergo treatment before conception and wait until the condition is fully resolved before considering pregnancy.
