Patient's question:
Girl baby, there's a small hard lump near the nipple in the left breast, movable. I went back to the hospital's breast surgery department for a follow-up, and then had a color ultrasound done. The doctor said it's nothing to do with the breast and suggested I go to the vascular surgery department to have the ultrasound results checked by a doctor. The doctor only mentioned that the child is young, and anesthesia might interfere with growth and development, suggesting waiting until the child is older for surgery. They didn't say anything else. I'm wondering if this is serious, or whether it's benign or malignant? Which is more likely? As parents, it's very stressful to have something grow on our child. Thank you in advance for clarifying this.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the lump is cystic, and the possibility of a benign disease is relatively high. For now, there is no need for special treatment. Please pay close attention to monitoring any changes in size, and consider surgical treatment at a later date. The likelihood of it being benign is very high. You can first wait and see, and have follow-up examinations at irregular intervals. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if I feel a small hard lump near the nipple in my left breast?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
