Question

I'm 32 and have a cyst in my left breast. After seeing a doctor, they said it's fibroadenosis and mentioned surgery as a treatment. I'm really unsure about having surgery. Are there other options besides surgery that I could consider? And if I do go through with surgery, what kind of impact might it have on me? I'm a bit worried about these next steps.

Fibroadenosis is a benign condition, and in many cases, surgery may not be necessary. Non-surgical treatments, such as monitoring, medications for pain relief, or changes in lifestyle, are options to manage the condition. If surgery is recommended, it is generally safe, but its important to discuss any potential risks or concerns with your doctor for personalized advice.

Question

I'm really worried and need some guidance. I've been dealing with pain and a burning sensation in my right nipple for about 45 days and mild pain in my right armpit for a few days. I've taken a lot of medicine, but nothing seems to help. I had a mammogram and an ultrasound done; the mammogram was all clear, but the ultrasound showed a well-defined oval hypoechoic lesion measuring 63 mm in the 34 clock position of my right breast. It also noted some bilateral axillary lymph nodes with preserved fatty hila that they said were insignificant. I also had my right ovary removed because of a dermoid cyst, and my left ovary is normal in size but shows multiple peripherally arranged follicles, and they said it appears polycystic. I'm really anxiouscould this possibly be cancer?

How do cancers start?

Question

I'm a 27-year-old guy and I've had this lump inside my left chest for over two years now. It's pretty weird because I can feel it when I touch it, and it hurts then, but otherwise, there's no pain. The size hasn't changed, and there aren't any other symptoms. I'm not on any medication, but I'm really worried it might be a tumor. Any idea what this could be?
