Nothing to worry about. Fibroadenomas are benign tumours and the ones you are worried about are very small. Hopefully they r not causing pain. Rest the treatment should work fine. Just consult in case of pain or change in size and such symptoms.

Since fibroadenomas are benign tumors, there is no need to worry. If the lumps are felt to your hand then get it excised or else take the mentioned medications to look for hormonal changes causing fibrocystic disease.
Next Steps
Consult a General Surgeon for proper evaluation

Asymptomatic Fibroadenoma less than 2 cm( 20 mm) does not require any surgical or non surgical interventions. If there is pain rule out the chest pain due to musculoskeletal reasons ( mostly happens any time not related to menstruation). If pain increases during menstruation then consider this as cyclical mastalgia and take medicines.
Start with NSAIDs. And go for routine 6 monthly follow up. If size increases or pain persists then there are options like Centcroman( Ormeloxifen) / Tamoxifen but these have to be taken under surgeon's supervision.
Next Steps
Consult with all symptoms with nearby general or breast endocrine surgeons.
Health Tips
1.Avoid Coffee.
2.Use a properly fitting cotton bra at day time and a sports bra at night time.( breast support).
3.Regular self breast examinations to delineate the size or other developing lump.
4. Avoid oily or spicy foods, alcohol, smoking.
Fibroadenoma or Adenosis is a benign disease. Don't panic.

Hello.
If fibroadenomas can be felt by hand, then it can be removed and sent for testing.
But 6-8 mm sized usually cant be felt.
They can be observed after 6 mths with an Ultrasound scan for growth increase.
