I was recently diagnosed with fibroadenoma and the scan showed multiple lumps. My doctor recommended surgery right away but I'm unsure and wanted to get another opinion. Are there other treatment options or should I really consider surgery this soon?

Multiple fibroadenomas may not always require immediate surgery. A second opinion and regular monitoring are often advised unless there's suspicion of malignancy or rapid growth.

I'm worried about an abscess I have that has turned black. Does that mean it's healing or getting worse? My doctor suggested waiting for 3 days, but I'm still concerned. Can you help me understand what's happening?

If an abscess turns black, it may indicate that the tissue is dying or undergoing necrosis, which could signal an infection is worsening. However, it could also mean the abscess is draining and healing. It's good that your doctor wants to monitor it for a few days to see how it progresses.
