I'm a bit concerned because about a year ago I started feeling some pain in my breast and I kind of brushed it off. Now I've noticed a lump there and it's kind of painful. I'm really worried about what this might mean. Could you give me some advice on what to do next?

My father was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer and had surgery to remove the infected colon and five lymph nodes. The doctor recommended six cycles of chemotherapy, but we're wondering if we can also explore ayurvedic treatments like rasayana chikitsa to help prevent recurrence. Is combining these approaches safe and effective?

Is there any evidence to support that these Ayurvedic med wil work , chemotherapy is based on no of trials throughout the world and it is scientific , dnt be biased take proper treatment that wil give max benefit to the patient.

I've noticed something concerning lately there's a lump under my arm, and it's been there for a couple of months now. It seems to come and go, and sometimes it gets bigger before shrinking again after a few days. It's pretty soft to touch, but now I'm starting to feel something similar in the other armpit too. Should I be worried about this? What could it possibly be?

Observe the Lumps: If they continue to grow, cause pain, or do not go away, you should consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis. Medical Evaluation: A healthcare professional may want to examine the lumps physically, and potentially order an ultrasound or biopsy to rule out other conditions, particularly if you're concerned about the lumps appearing in both armpits. Watch for Changes: If the lumps become painful, larger, or change in appearance (color, warmth, etc.), it's important to seek medical attention quickly.

I was recently diagnosed with fibroadenoma and have four lumps one was removed (5.3 cm) but the others are smaller. Can they be treated with medication or will I need surgery for those too? I've attached my biopsy report for reference.

Small fibroadenomas are often monitored; surgery is only needed if they grow, cause symptoms, or raise diagnostic concerns.
