Breast Care & Surgery – Dr. K. K. Trehan
Breast lumps and related concerns can cause anxiety, but not all lumps are cancerous. Dr. K. K. Trehan provides expert evaluation and advanced treatment for breast conditions, ensuring accurate diagnosis and personalized care for every patient.
Is a Breast Lump Always Cancer?
No, not all breast lumps are cancerous. Many are benign conditions such as cysts, fibroadenomas, or infections like abscesses. In some cases, normal breast tissue may feel lumpy. However, any new or unusual lump should always be evaluated by a specialist.
Breast Self-Examination
Regular self-examination helps in understanding the normal structure of your breasts. Becoming familiar with how your breasts feel makes it easier to notice any unusual changes. If anything feels different or concerning, it is important to consult a doctor promptly.
Changes to Watch For
While examining your breasts, look for any new lump or thickening, changes in breast shape or size, skin redness or rash, dimpling or puckering of the skin, inward pulling of the nipple, or any unusual discharge from the nipple. These signs should not be ignored and require medical evaluation.
Evaluation of a Breast Lump
Evaluation begins with a clinical examination by the surgeon. Depending on the findings, further tests such as ultrasound, mammography, or both may be recommended. In some cases, a biopsy or needle test is required to confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment of Benign Lumps
Non-cancerous breast lumps are managed based on their type. Some conditions may not require treatment and can be monitored, while others such as larger fibroadenomas may need surgical removal.
Treatment of Breast Cancer
Breast cancer treatment may involve a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and hormone therapy. The treatment plan is customized according to the stage and type of cancer.
Types of Breast Surgery
Surgical options include breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy), where only the tumor is removed, and mastectomy, where the entire breast is removed. The choice depends on the size and extent of the disease in relation to the breast.
