Question: Hi , I had ivf in October - eggs retrieval and creating embryos . After taking all those hormones I recently found a movable painful lump in my breast . I am going to see the doctor tomorrow but I can’t put my mind at ease . Do ivf hormones cause cancer ?
Brief Answer:
Movable lumps are benign.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Greetings...
IVF hormones will not produce LUMPS in breast. And movable lumps will not cause pain nor will be cancerous.
It may be fibroadenoma or cyst.
I suggest you to consult a surgeon.
Hope my answers help you.
