I have two small fibroadenomas in my left breast, 1 cm and 1.5 cm in size, and my doctor said surgery is the only option. I'm only 23 and don't want surgery are there any medicines, yoga, or ayurvedic remedies that can treat this? Also, is there any chance this could be cancer?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
surgery is often recommended for fibroadenomas, especially those that are growing rapidly or are larger than 2 cm, it's not always the only option. Your doctor might recommend watchful waiting, where you undergo regular check-ups and imaging tests to monitor the fibroadenomas. There are also non-surgical options like cryoablation or vacuum-assisted biopsy. In addition, there's no evidence that yoga or ayurvedic remedies can effectively treat fibroadenomas, and these approaches shouldn't be seen as a replacement for medical care. Regarding your concern about cancer, fibroadenomas are non-cancerous, and the risk of breast cancer is not significantly increased by having them. However, it's always best to follow up with your doctor and discuss your concerns and preferences

View allHad laparoscopy for gallstones about six weeks ago but still feel a slight pain in one of the incisions, especially when touched or if my shirt rubs against it. The incision is small, around 0.5x0.3 cm on the right side. Is this normal or something I should be concerned about?
It's common to experience some mild pain or tenderness around incision sites after gallbladder surgery, even six weeks post-op. This is likely due to the healing process and the body adjusting to the surgery. However, if the pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by other concerning symptoms, it's important to consult a doctor.

I'm feeling this pain in my lower right stomach that's been there since yesterday, and it just won't go away. Plus, I've got this constant nauseous feeling like I need to vomit, but nothing's happening. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it? I'm starting to get really worried.
The pain in the lower right stomach along with the feeling of nausea can be indicative of various conditions. One common cause for these symptoms is appendicitis, which is inflammation of the appendix. Other possible causes include gastrointestinal issues like gastritis or gastroenteritis, urinary tract infections, or even issues with the reproductive organs. It is important to seek medical attention promptly for further evaluation and treatment.
