I've recently noticed a lump in my right breast and saw a doctor, had a scan done, and it showed up in the retro areola region. I was given some medicine, but now I've got swelling and it's really painful. The lump seems to be moving around. What should I do next?

View allI found a few hypoechoic lesions in both my breasts one 15mm in the upper outer right, two more in the subareolar region, and a couple in the left breast's lower quadrants. There are also some small simple cysts in the upper quadrants. The report says the rest looks normal, but I'm worried do I need surgery or can medicines help What are the risks if I go for surgery
Hypoechoic lesions in the breast may or may not require surgery. If they’re benign, monitoring them with regular follow-ups is often sufficient. Surgery is typically considered if there’s any suspicion of malignancy or significant changes.
