I noticed a hard lump on my right breast that doesn't hurt but seems to be getting bigger. Is there any way to treat this without surgery? What could be causing it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A hard lump in the breast that isn't painful and seems to be growing warrants a medical evaluation. While some breast lumps, like fibroadenomas or cysts, can be treated without surgery, others, including those related to breast cancer, may require more invasive procedures. Consulting a doctor or healthcare provider is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment recommendations

My whole family has been dealing with a viral cold and flu. Now my mom's got it too, and she's dealing with a blocked nose and body aches. Her PET scan is scheduled for tomorrow to check if the lung tumor and nodules are active. Is it a good idea to take her for the scan while she's feeling like this, or should we think about rescheduling?

My mom had a 2.68x1.49 cm breast cyst removed from her left side in 2014 the biopsy showed fibrocystic changes with a simple cyst and no malignancy. Now she's noticing a similar lump on her right side. Should she get surgery again or is there another way to handle this?
If a new breast lump appears,it should be evaluated.Surgery isn't always needed if it's benign imaging and biopsy-guided follow-up may help.
