Breast Lump Treatment
in Noida

Possible causes or reasons of breast lumps encompass:

1. Fibrocystic Changes: These involve the presence of tiny sacs filled with fluid and rubbery tissue, which may resemble a lump.
2. Breast Cysts: Formed when fluid gets trapped in milk ducts, commonly occurring in individuals who haven’t undergone menopause.
3. Fibroadenomas: Benign lumps, prevalent among younger women and those assigned female at birth (typically in their 20s and 30s). Healthcare providers might suggest ultrasounds and clinical examinations to assess fibroadenomas.
4. Phyllodes Tumour: A tumour emerging in the connective tissue of the breast.
5. Breast Calcifications: Large, benign calcium deposits, often observed post-breast reduction or tissue flap procedures, presenting as a hard lump.
6. Breast Infection: Infections in breast tissue can lead to localised areas of hardened tissue, and sometimes, the formation of a breast abscess, characterised by a firm lump filled with pus due to infection.
7. Breast Cancer: The growth of a tumour within breast tissue causing a lump.

Not treating a breast lump promptly poses various risks, such as:

• Disease Progression: Cancerous lumps can grow and spread if untreated, making treatment more challenging.
• Complications: Infections or abscesses may develop, complicating the situation.
• Limited Treatment Options: Delayed cure might reduce the effectiveness of available options.
• Emotional Strain: Anxiety and stress can result from uncertainty about the lump’s nature.
• Symptom Aggravation: Benign or malignant, lumps can worsen symptoms over time if ignored.

Timely evaluation and treatment are crucial to minimise these risks and ensure the best outcomes.

Breast lumps vary in type, with many being benign and others malignant. Common types include:

• Fibroadenomas: Smooth, rubbery, and movable under the skin.
• Cysts: Fluid-filled sacs, fluctuating in size during the menstrual cycle.
• Fat Necrosis: Hard lumps from damaged fatty tissue, often with skin changes.
• Breast Abscess: Painful pus collection due to infection, presenting with swelling and redness.
• Breast Cancer: Firm, immovable lumps with associated symptoms like skin changes or nipple discharge.

Treatment for breast lumps varies based on factors like lump type and size. The different types of treatment include: 

• Observation: Small, asymptomatic lumps may be monitored regularly.
• Medications: Hormonal medications or pain relievers can alleviate symptoms.
• Biopsy: Suspicious lumps undergo biopsy for analysis.
• Surgery: Options include lumpectomy (removing lump and margin), mastectomy (partial or total breast removal), and sentinel node biopsy.
• Radiation Therapy: Post-surgery, radiation can eliminate remaining cancer cells.
• Chemotherapy: Used for advanced or aggressive breast cancers.
• Hormone Therapy: Blocks hormone effects on hormone-sensitive cancers.
• Targeted Therapy: Targets specific cancer characteristics.
• Immunotherapy: Boosts the immune system against cancer cells. Customised treatment strategies are ensured by collaboration with healthcare providers.

The cost of a breast lump treatment varies as per the specific type of treatment advised by a healthcare provider, such as:

• Medications
• Surgery
• Radiation therapy
• Chemotherapy
• Hormone therapy
• Targeted therapy
• Immunotherapy

The cost can also vary widely depending on several factors, including the location, the extent of the treatment, the doctor’s experience, and the hospital’s pricing structure.
