Book an AppointmentFrequently Asked Questions
1. What are the common causes of breast lumps?
Breast lumps can occur due to various reasons, including fibroadenomas, cysts, infections, hormonal changes, or in some cases, breast cancer. Most breast lumps are benign, but any new or changing lump should be evaluated by a breast specialist for accurate diagnosis.
2. Are all breast lumps cancerous?
No, the majority of breast lumps are non-cancerous. Conditions such as fibroadenoma and cysts are common and usually benign. However, medical evaluation is important to rule out malignancy and ensure timely treatment if required.
3. When should I consult a breast surgeon?
You should consult a breast surgeon if you notice a lump, breast pain, nipple discharge, skin changes over the breast, or any unusual change in breast shape or size. Early consultation helps in accurate diagnosis and better treatment outcomes.
4. How is breast cancer detected?
Breast cancer is detected through a combination of clinical examination, imaging tests such as mammography or ultrasound, and biopsy when needed. Early detection significantly improves treatment success and survival rates.
5. What treatment options are available for breast cancer?
Breast cancer treatment depends on the stage and type of cancer and may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, or targeted therapy. Treatment plans are personalised for each patient based on medical needs and overall health.
6. Is breast-conserving surgery possible in breast cancer?
In many cases, breast-conserving surgery is possible, especially when cancer is detected early. The suitability of this approach depends on tumour size, location, and individual patient factors evaluated during consultation.
7. What is gynecomastia and how is it treated?
Gynecomastia is the enlargement of breast tissue in males, often due to hormonal imbalance. Treatment options include medical management or surgical correction, depending on the severity and underlying cause.
8. Do I need surgery for all breast conditions?
Not all breast conditions require surgery. Many benign conditions can be managed with observation or medication. Surgery is recommended only when medically necessary or when it offers the best long-term outcome.
9. How should I prepare for a breast surgery consultation?
It is helpful to bring previous medical reports, imaging results, and a list of symptoms or concerns. During the consultation, patients are encouraged to ask questions and discuss all available treatment options.
10. Where does Dr. Rohan Khandelwal consult?
Dr. Rohan Khandelwal consults at CK Birla Hospital, Gurugram, and provides comprehensive breast care services to patients from Gurgaon, Gurugram, and across Delhi NCR.
11. What is vacuum assisted breast biopsy in Gurugram?
Vacuum assisted breast biopsy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose or remove suspicious breast lumps using a suction-assisted device under imaging guidance. It allows precise tissue sampling without open surgery. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and typically requires only a small 3–5 mm incision.
12. When is vacuum assisted breast biopsy recommended?
This procedure is recommended when imaging shows a suspicious lesion, indeterminate lump, or benign tumour like fibroadenoma that requires confirmation or removal. It is especially useful for small, non-palpable lesions detected on mammography or ultrasound.
13. What are the benefits of vacuum assisted breast biopsy over open surgery?
- No stitches in most cases
- Minimal scarring
- Faster recovery
- Day-care procedure
- Reduced hospital stay
This makes vacuum assisted breast biopsy in India a preferred option for eligible patients.
14. Can vacuum assisted biopsy completely remove a fibroadenoma?
Yes, vacuum assisted biopsy can completely remove small to medium-sized fibroadenomas in many cases. For patients seeking fibroadenoma treatment in Gurgaon, this minimally invasive option often avoids traditional surgery and visible scars.
15. How long is recovery after fibroadenoma removal?
Recovery after vacuum assisted fibroadenoma removal is usually quick. Most patients resume routine activities within 24 hours. Traditional surgical excision may require a slightly longer recovery depending on the extent of surgery.
