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 grandmother was just diagnosed with breast cancer and I'm really worried. Can you explain the treatment options for someone her age? If she needs surgery, how urgent is it and what's the typical timeline for that?
It's completely understandable that you're worried after your grandmother's diagnosis. Treatment for breast cancer in older women is individualized and depends on several factors, including the stage and type of cancer, her overall health, and her preferences. Common treatment options include surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and targeted therapies.

I found an echogenic mass lesion in my breast that's 22020 mm in size on ultrasound and the doctor recommended surgery. Is surgery really necessary for this kind of mass? What could be causing it and are there other options?
A 22x20 mm echogenic breast lesion could suggest a fibroadenoma or benign tumor, but surgery is often advised to rule out malignancy. A biopsy or FNAC may help confirm before proceeding.
