Question 1

I've been diagnosed with fibroadenoma and complex cysts along with ductal ectasia in both breasts. What kind of medication would help manage this? Is surgery necessary, or are there other treatment options? Who should I consult for this a general physician or a specialist?

Accepted Answer

For your diagnosed conditions (fibroadenoma, complex cysts, and ductal ectasia in both breasts), medication is not typically the primary treatment. Instead, watchful waiting, monitoring, and in some cases, surgical or minimally invasive procedures may be recommended. You should consult with a specialist, specifically a breast surgeon or a specialized breast clinic for the best course of action

Question 2

I'm really worried about my fibroadenoma in my left breast. It's been there for around three years now, and I've been taking Ayurvedic medicine for the last 7 months, but the size seems to be about 32.75cm. Is this normal? Should I be doing something else for treatment or getting it checked out further? It's really stressing me out, and I'd appreciate any advice on what to do next.

Question 3

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?

Accepted Answer

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.
