What Is The Treatment For Lump In The Breast?
One of my friend has a brest lump, she got told by the doctors that it is not cancer. They treated her with a tube that cleaned up the wound, she also took anibiotics. And now the wound has been closed, and it feels as if a lumb will occur again, so the doctors put in a tablet in a wound. The docotor said that if the wound gets opened again, and if the water comes out, its all perfeclty fine, but if it doesn't she has to go through an operation again.

welcome to Health care magic.
1.It looks like its breast abscess / cyst.
2.Generally breast abscess is treated with incision and drainage.
3.Where as cyst is monitored, if its big in size an causing discomfort - it can be either drained.
4.So in rare conditions it does reoccur - there is no option than to open and retreat again.
hope it helps you.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
