Patient's question:
Female, 37 years old, nodule size 0.7－0.4cmDoctor's answer:
Currently, there are only two treatment methods available: one is surgical removal, and the other is observation and follow-up. If the following conditions occur, it is recommended to undergo surgery promptly:First, if the lump grows rapidly. In this case, the risk of the tumor becoming malignant increases, and delaying treatment time will inevitably lead to a larger surgical trauma as the lump becomes more prominent.
Second, for patients planning to become pregnant. Pregnancy can stimulate the rapid growth of the tumor, so it is best to have the lump removed before pregnancy.
Third, during menopause. Breast cancer incidence increases during this period, so if a breast lump is detected, it is advisable to have it removed early.
