Breast Lump Excision
Breast lump excision is a surgical procedure to remove suspicious or symptomatic lumps from the breast for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. It is recommended when a lump is growing, painful, or has uncertain pathology. The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia, with an incision made over the lump for removal. The excised tissue is sent for biopsy to rule out malignancy. Recovery takes about a week, with mild pain and swelling managed by medication. Potential risks include infection, bleeding, or scarring. Post-operative care involves wearing a supportive bra, avoiding strenuous activities, and attending follow-up visits for biopsy results. Breast lump excision is a safe and effective way to diagnose and treat breast abnormalities while preserving breast shape.
