About Lump Fibroadenoma Excision

Lump fibroadenoma excision is a surgical procedure performed by a general surgeon to remove a benign breast tumor known as a fibroadenoma. This common, non-cancerous lump is composed of glandular and connective tissue and is often found in younger women. The procedure is typically recommended when the lump is large, causes pain, changes in size, or causes patient anxiety. The surgery is usually performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the size and location of the fibroadenoma. The surgeon makes a small incision, often following the natural contour of the breast to minimize visible scarring, and carefully removes the entire lump. The tissue is then sent to a pathology lab for confirmation of its benign nature. This outpatient procedure effectively alleviates symptoms and provides peace of mind, with most patients returning to normal activities within a short period.

PATIENT REVIEW

I was a total wreck before...

I was a total wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a doctor on my own and I was convinced it was something serious. Dr. Ram just listened, didn't rush me, and explained everything in a way that actually calmed me down. The hospital is huge and a bit overwhelming, but he made it feel okay. Left feeling like I could breathe again.
