I just had my medical examination for a visa today and they had to take my X-ray 3 or 4 times because it wasn't coming out clear. Then they put this round iron thing with white tape on my nipple. Could this cause any problems or show up as some kind of opacity on the X-ray? I'm a bit confused about what this means.

I recently had an x-ray done because of the pandemic situation we're in right now. Could you take a look at the x-ray and let me know if there's anything concerning? I'm not having any breathing issues, but I want to make sure everything looks okay.

Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I've noticed an ovoid hypoechoic mass in my right suprarenal region measuring 5x4.6x4cm. There's no pain or major issues so far, but I sometimes feel like something's there just a weird sensation. All my tests came back normal except for this lesion. Are there any non-surgical options to dissolve or manage it?

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
