I 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‚Äôre benign, monitoring them with regular follow-ups is often sufficient. Surgery is typically considered if there‚Äôs any suspicion of malignancy or significant changes.
