Breast Lump Evaluation & Surgery
A breast lump can develop due to various reasons, including benign conditions such as cysts or fibroadenomas, as well as conditions that may require further medical attention. Proper evaluation helps identify the cause of the lump and determine the most suitable treatment approach.

Understanding Breast Lumps: When Do You Need Medical Advice?
You should consider consulting a surgeon if you experience:
- A newly developed lump in the breast
- Increase or change in breast size or shape
- Persistent breast pain or tenderness
- Changes in the skin texture or appearance
- Nipple discharge or other unusual changes
Diagnosis Before Treatment
A detailed evaluation is important to understand the nature of the breast lump. Your doctor may recommend a physical examination along with imaging tests such as breast ultrasound or mammography. In certain cases, a biopsy may be advised for accurate diagnosis.
Breast Lump Removal Procedure
When surgical removal is required, breast lump surgery (lumpectomy) is performed to remove the abnormal tissue while preserving the natural appearance of the breast. The treatment approach is planned based on the size, location, and type of lump.
Healing & Recovery After Breast Lump Surgery
Breast lump removal is generally a safe procedure with minimal discomfort. Most patients can gradually resume their daily activities after recovery, depending on the healing process and individual condition.
