fibroid is a tumor (non-cancerous) that females can get in their reproductive systems. They feed off of your blood and can be excruciatingly painful when they start to die. They mostly have to be surgically removed, but sometimes they'll go away on their own. Those who have endometriosis have a higher chance of getting fibroid tumors than others. And usually the older you are the higher chance you have of getting them, too. I don't believe you can get those in your breasts. If you suspect a tumor or there's a painful lump or swelling then you need ot see your doctor. You could have an infection.

A fibroid is a non-malignant tumor of the muscle of the uterine wall. It can cause preterm labor in pregnant women. It is not associated with breasts. But you can get fibrous changes in your breasts - they are not related to fibroid tumors.
