View allI've noticed a little pea-sized lump between my chest area and it sometimes comes with chest pain. I did some research online and think it might be the xiphoid process. I'm really concerned and wondering what's the best way to get it checked out. Also, if I need to have it removed, do you know what that kind of surgery might cost?

I have multiple fibroadenomas in both breasts with sizes ranging from 5.6mm to 16mm and some small simple cysts too. The report says the lesions are well-circumscribed and the background tissue looks normal. Should I consider surgery for these or can they be managed with medications? What are the risks if I go for surgery?
Fibroadenomas are usually benign and don't require surgery unless they cause pain or changes in size. Discuss with your doctor about whether monitoring or surgery is the best option.

I've been dealing with a fistula for the past 2 years and already had surgery, but it keeps coming back. What medications can help prevent it from recurring so often?
Post-surgical recurrent fistula needs imaging like MRI pelvis to check tract; antibiotics and sitz baths help but surgery like LIFT or laser is more curative.
