I have multiple fibroadenomas in both breasts with sizes ranging from 5.6mm to 16mm and some small simple cysts too. The report says the lesions are well-circumscribed and the background tissue looks normal. Should I consider surgery for these or can they be managed with medications? What are the risks if I go for surgery?

Fibroadenomas are usually benign and don't require surgery unless they cause pain or changes in size. Discuss with your doctor about whether monitoring or surgery is the best option.

My dad has several gallstones and needs gallbladder surgery. Can you recommend the best hospital or clinic in Kolkata for gallbladder microsurgery? I'm really concerned about finding a good place for his operation.

For gallbladder microsurgery in Kolkata, Medica Superspecialty Hospital and Manipal Hospitals - Mukundapur are highly regarded. Justdial recommends several doctors specializing in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal via keyhole surgery). Dr. Purnendu Roy of Genesis Hospital and Dr. Susenjit Prasad Mahato are also highly recommended for their expertise in this area.
