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 allI've had an abscess in my right breast for about three years now, and I've noticed something that's been worrying me. My right breast seems bigger than the left, and I've also lost sensation in the nipple. I'm wondering if this is due to the abscess or if there could be something else causing it?

My MRI report shows a perianal fistula with an external opening in the left paramedian gluteal cleft. Can this be treated with medication or will I need surgery?
In most cases, a perianal fistula with an external opening in the left paramedian gluteal cleft requires surgical intervention to resolve. While medication, like antibiotics, might be used to manage associated infections, they won't cure the fistula itself. Surgery, often a fistulotomy, is needed to open and drain the fistula tract, allowing healing from the bottom up.
