I've had benign tumors since childhood and doctors said surgery is an option if they cause discomfort. What treatments are available to completely remove them and how much would it cost?

For benign tumors, surgical removal (like lumpectomy for fibroadenomas) or cryotherapy (freezing) are common options. Radiation therapy or radiosurgery can also shrink or eliminate tumors. Cost varies depending on the procedure, location, and severity of the condition, with surgery potentially costing between Rs. 50,000 and Rs. 2 lakhs

I'm feeling a bit concerned because I've noticed a lump next to my right nipple that moves around and is slightly painful. I've had similar lumps on my thighs before. About ten months ago, I had a chest CT scan after having COVID, and everything was clear. Could this lump be dangerous?

if it is lump in the breast do one ultrasound as soon as possible

I'm a bit concerned because about a year ago I started feeling some pain in my breast and I kind of brushed it off. Now I've noticed a lump there and it's kind of painful. I'm really worried about what this might mean. Could you give me some advice on what to do next?
