Is the surgery to remove a breast lump painful?

Patient's question:

Does the surgery to remove breast tumors hurt? I have breast tumors, and the doctor said I can come for compression therapy. But whenever I think about compression therapy, I feel it's extremely painful. Is this a major surgery? Do I need anesthesia? What do I need to take care of after the surgery?

Doctor's answer:

Breast diseases are conditions that are prone to occur, such as breast hyperplasia, breast cysts, and breast cancer. When necessary, breast lumps may need to be removed through surgery. The surgery is performed with injections, so there is no pain during the procedure. However, there may be a few days of persistent pain after the surgery. After breast surgery, it is important to prevent inflammation and infection. Avoid squeezing the breast and maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Additionally, it is essential to keep a positive mood.
