Understanding Breast Lumps
Breast lumps can vary in size, shape, and texture and may arise from various causes, including benign conditions, infections, or cancer. While many breast lumps are non-cancerous, it’s crucial to seek professional evaluation to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment. At Akruti Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery Centre, we specialize in the diagnosis and management of breast lumps to ensure your health and peace of mind.
Why Choose Treatment for Breast Lumps?
Seeking treatment for breast lumps is important for several reasons:
- Early Detection: Timely evaluation can help identify any potential malignancies early, significantly improving treatment outcomes.
- Symptom Relief: Some breast lumps can cause discomfort or pain, which can be alleviated with proper treatment.
- Peace of Mind: Understanding the nature of a breast lump can alleviate anxiety and provide clarity regarding your health.
- Comprehensive Care: Our multidisciplinary approach ensures you receive the best possible treatment tailored to your specific needs.
Types of Treatments for Breast Lumps
At Akruti Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery Centre, we offer a variety of treatment options tailored to the specific diagnosis:
- Diagnostic Imaging: Initial evaluation may include mammograms, ultrasounds, or MRI scans to assess the lump’s characteristics.
- Biopsy: If necessary, a biopsy may be performed to determine if the lump is benign or malignant. This may involve a fine needle aspiration (FNA) or core needle biopsy.
- Surgical Excision: For lumps that require removal, we provide surgical options that are minimally invasive to ensure the best cosmetic outcomes.
- Follow-Up Care: Regular follow-ups and monitoring may be recommended to track any changes in the lump over time.
