My wife has been diagnosed with fibroadenoma in her right breast just above the ovary. The doctor suggested surgery, but I'm a bit unsure and would like another opinion. Is surgery the only option or are there other treatments we should consider? What are the risks if we delay or avoid surgery?

View allI was recently diagnosed with fibroadenoma and the scan showed multiple lumps. My doctor recommended surgery right away but I'm unsure and wanted to get another opinion. Are there other treatment options or should I really consider surgery this soon?
Multiple fibroadenomas may not always require immediate surgery. A second opinion and regular monitoring are often advised unless there's suspicion of malignancy or rapid growth.

I've noticed a small pea-sized lump in my chest area and sometimes experience chest pain too. I read online that it could be related to the xiphoid process. How can I confirm what this is, and if it needs to be removed, what's the usual cost for the surgery?
A chest lump near the xiphoid could be cartilage or lipoma. An ultrasound or CT scan can confirm. Surgical removal costs ₹15,000–₹40,000 typically.
