I've had a lump in my right arm for a few years now and my gynecologist said it's an extension of the mammary gland that can be removed surgically. It's grown a little over time and sometimes hurts. Is this something that can be taken care of with a minor surgery?

I've had pain during bowel movements and constipation for 15 days with a little blood today. The doctor says it's a fissure and recommends surgery costing ?‚Äö¬π10,000. My dad earns ?‚Äö¬π10,000/month - is surgery really necessary at 17 or are there other options?

Fissure can often heal with ointments, sitz baths, and fiber—surgery is not first-line at your age.
