Breast Lump Operation in Gopalganj (Fibroadenoma Removal)

No. Most breast lumps in young women are harmless, such as fibroadenomas or cysts. However, no lump should be ignored. Triple assessment, which means examination, imaging and a needle test, gives a clear answer in most cases. The risk of cancer rises with age, so women above about 35 to 40 years with a new lump should get it checked promptly.

Stan me ganth is the everyday term for a lump in the breast. In young women it is most often a fibroadenoma or a cyst, which are not cancer. The risk of cancer rises with age, especially after about 35 to 40 years. Every lump should still be checked with examination, imaging and a needle test, because an early, clear diagnosis makes treatment simpler whatever the cause.

Often, yes. A small fibroadenoma confirmed by triple assessment can usually be left alone and checked from time to time, and some become smaller on their own. Tablets and creams do not dissolve it. We usually advise surgery if it is large, growing, painful or causing worry, or if the tests are not fully clear. Our surgeon explains both options so that you can decide comfortably.

After triple assessment confirms the type of lump, we remove it under local or general anaesthesia, depending on its size and position. Our surgeon makes a small cut, often at the edge of the areola or along skin lines, removes the lump completely and closes the skin. The lump is sent for a biopsy report. The operation usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, and most women go home the same day or the next day.

Yes. Your privacy and comfort come first. The examination is done in a private room with a female attendant present, and you may also bring a female family member. You can ask any question freely. Our doctor explains what is being checked and why, and you can ask to stop at any time.

Removal of a fibroadenoma usually does not affect the ability to breastfeed in the future. The cut is kept small and placed at the edge of the areola or along skin lines where possible, so the scar is usually small and fades with time. The size of the scar depends on the size and position of the lump.

Most women return to light work in 2 to 3 days. Wear a well-fitting, supportive bra day and night for about a week to reduce pain and swelling. Keep the dressing dry until advised, and avoid lifting heavy things or vigorous arm movement for about a week. No special diet is needed. Please collect the biopsy report and show it to our doctor at the follow-up visit.

Once a month, a few days after your period ends, look at your breasts in a mirror for any change in shape or skin. Then, lying down and standing, feel each breast and armpit with the flat of your fingers in small circles. Women who no longer have periods can choose a fixed date each month. Please show any new lump, skin change or nipple discharge to a doctor.

The cost depends on the tests needed (breast ultrasound, mammography when advised, FNAC or core biopsy), local or general anaesthesia, the size and number of lumps, day-care or an overnight stay, the histopathology report and medicines. We give you a clear estimate after the examination and tests, and you can send your reports on WhatsApp first. Ayushman card holders can ask our help desk about coverage.

Our hospital is empanelled under Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY for general surgery packages, and fibroadenoma and breast lump excision are on our list of procedures. Our Ayushman help desk confirms whether your operation is covered, and under which package. Please bring your Ayushman card and a photo ID such as Aadhaar, and ask our help desk before admission.

Yes. Women come to us regularly from Motihari, Kushinagar, Siwan, Chhapra, Bettiah and Deoria. Please send any breast ultrasound, mammography or FNAC report on WhatsApp to +91 72739 94786 first. Visit our OPD from Monday to Friday, 10 am to 7 pm, with a female family member if you like. Ultrasound and the needle test can usually be arranged at our hospital, so fewer trips are needed.

We suggest choosing a surgeon who completes triple assessment before any operation, respects your privacy and explains the findings clearly.

Ultrasound and a pathology lab are in our hospital, and our visiting surgical oncologist holds an OPD on the 1st Saturday of every month.
