About Breast Lump

A breast lump evaluation by an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist is a comprehensive diagnostic process to assess any abnormal mass or thickening in the breast tissue. While OB-GYNs primarily focus on women's reproductive health, they are often the first point of contact for breast concerns. The procedure involves a detailed clinical breast exam, a review of personal and family medical history, and often coordinates further diagnostic steps. These may include imaging tests like mammography or ultrasound, and potentially a biopsy to determine if the lump is benign (non-cancerous), such as a cyst or fibroadenoma, or requires further oncological care. This proactive approach is crucial for early detection, accurate diagnosis, and timely management of breast health issues.

Key Highlights

    Provides an expert, initial clinical evaluation of breast changes by a women's health specialist.Facilitates early detection and diagnosis of breast abnormalities, which is key to successful outcomes.Coordinates a seamless care pathway, including referrals for advanced imaging or biopsy if needed.Offers counseling on breast health, risk factors, and appropriate screening schedules.Helps distinguish between common benign conditions and those requiring further investigation.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Palpable lump, thickening, or mass felt during self-examination or routine check-up.
  • Persistent breast pain or tenderness localized to one area.
  • Changes in breast skin texture, such as dimpling, puckering, or redness.
  • Nipple changes, including retraction, discharge (especially if bloody), or scaling.
  • Noticeable change in the size, shape, or contour of one breast compared to the other.
  • Follow-up for an abnormal finding on a screening mammogram.

How to prepare

  • Note the date of your last menstrual period, as breast tissue changes cyclically.
  • Prepare a personal and family history of breast or ovarian cancer and other relevant health conditions.
  • List all current medications, including hormones or supplements.
  • Avoid applying deodorants, powders, or lotions to the breast and underarm area on the day of the exam.
  • Wear a two-piece outfit (top and bottom) for ease during the physical examination.
  • Be prepared to discuss any symptoms, their duration, and associated changes.

Risks & possible complications

  • Diagnostic uncertainty: A clinical exam alone cannot definitively diagnose a lump; further tests are often required.
  • Anxiety and psychological stress while awaiting test results or a definitive diagnosis.
  • If a biopsy is coordinated, minor risks include bruising, swelling, infection, or bleeding at the site.
  • Potential for false reassurance if a lump is deemed benign clinically but requires imaging confirmation.
  • Rare allergic reaction to antiseptic solutions used during any associated procedures.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Recovery from the clinical examination is immediate; you can resume normal activities right away.
  • If a biopsy is performed, keep the area clean and dry as per post-procedure instructions.
  • You may experience mild tenderness or bruising at a biopsy site for a few days; over-the-counter pain relievers can help.
  • Follow up as scheduled to discuss all test results (imaging, biopsy) and formulate a definitive management plan.
  • Adhere to recommended screening guidelines and perform regular self-breast exams as instructed.
  • Report any signs of infection (increased redness, swelling, pus, fever) at a biopsy site to your doctor immediately.
