Breast Lumps treatment in Gustavo A. Madero

Breast lumps or tumors are lumps or areas of greater density that can be felt on touch in the breast tissue. Most correspond to benign changes, such as cysts or fibroadenomas, although it's always advisable to have them evaluated.

Common symptoms: a palpable lump, changes in the shape or contour of the breast, changes in the skin or the nipple, or unusual discharge.

When should you see a doctor? When there is any new lump that persists, grows, or is accompanied by discomfort, the prudent step is an evaluation without delay.

Which specialist treats it? The initial evaluation can be guided by a general practitioner or a gynecologist; when a more detailed study is needed, the general surgeon, the gynecologic oncologist, or the oncologist take part. Detecting the cause of a breast lump in time makes the difference, so it's worth seeking professional guidance at the first sign of doubt.
