Lump in breast
My mother was feeling lump on her right breast from past 5 days. It was bit painful and reddish. Had a consultation with an experienced gaenocologist . She suggested it's nothing suspicious and gave medication for 5 days related to infection.
My mother has taken the medication for 3 days and she feels the lump is getting smaller with no pain.
Her Age is 49 years. Diabetics patient
Should we go for test??
Routine screening is recommended from theage of 40-44 years for every women . So since your mother is 49 years , she should definitely undergo a mammogram . This should be done even if the current lump has subsided .
Please continue the medication as advised by your gynaecologist and get a mammogram done .
Mammogram is a safe investigation. Which will help us understand if any pathology that’s concerning is there .
Please feel free to contact me over consult , if you have any other doubts or concerns
