My lymph nodes are swollen and seem to be spreading everywhere is there any alternative treatment besides surgery that could help? I'm really worried about this and looking for options
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Swollen lymph nodes that seem to be "spreading everywhere" could indicate an infection, a response to a foreign substance, or even cancer, but it's crucial to get a diagnosis from a doctor. While some cases of swollen lymph nodes may resolve on their own, and some can be treated with medications, surgery is not always the first or only treatment option. If you're concerned about your swollen lymph nodes, it's important to consult with a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment

My wife is 29 and found some lumps, so her doctor recommended an ultrasound which showed multiple cysts with the largest being 17mm. The FNAC came back as benign fibroadenoma. We're unsure whether to go for surgery to remove it or just keep monitoring it what would you suggest is the best approach?
The results indicate multiple breast cysts and a fibroadenoma, both benign conditions. Fibroadenomas are common, non-cancerous breast lumps, and the FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) confirming a benign fibroadenoma suggests this lump is not cancerous. The cysts, especially a 17mm cyst, are also benign and don't typically require treatment.
