By Dr. Ankur Bhanushali | General, Laparoscopic & Minimal Access Surgeon
A breast lump is a troubling and stressful concern for many women and men. While most breast lumps are non-cancerous, it is extremely important to get them evaluated at the earliest to rule out serious conditions and to ensure timely treatment.
With modern diagnostic tools and safe surgical techniques, breast lumps can be accurately diagnosed and treated quickly.
Dr. Ankur Bhanushali provides specialised breast lump evaluation and surgery using minimally invasive and cosmetic approaches for faster recovery and minimal scarring.
To make treatment smooth and comfortable, Dr. Ankur consults and operates at two trusted centres in Thane West:
✔ Aayush Multispeciality Hospital – Panch Pakhdi
✔ Dr. Ankur Surgical Clinic – Charai
Both centres offer advanced imaging support, expert surgical care, and personalised pre- & post-treatment guidance.
⭐ What Is a Breast Lump?
A breast lump is a localized swelling, bump, or mass in the breast tissue. It can be soft, hard, painful, or painless.
Most lumps are benign, such as:
- Fibroadenoma
- Cysts
- Infection-related lumps
- Lipomas (fatty lumps)
- Duct ectasia
However, early evaluation is essential to rule out breast cancer.
⭐ Common Symptoms
- A firm or soft lump in the breast
- Change in size or shape of breast
- Pain or tenderness
- Nipple discharge
- Redness or warmth
- Lump increasing in size over time
- Skin dimpling or puckering
- Armpit swelling
- Lump that feels different from surrounding tissue
⭐ Causes of Breast Lumps
✔ Hormonal changes
✔ Fibroadenoma (common in young females)
✔ Breast cysts
✔ Infection & abscess
✔ Fat necrosis
✔ Lipoma
✔ Blocked ducts
✔ Early stages of breast tumour (rare but important)
Early diagnosis makes treatment easier and safer.
⭐ Diagnosis of Breast Lump
A complete evaluation is performed at the clinic or hospital, including:
✔ Clinical Breast Examination
Manual evaluation to understand size, mobility & nature of lump.
✔ Ultrasound Breast
Useful for younger women and cyst/solid lump differentiation.
✔ Mammography
Recommended for women above 40 or suspicious cases.
✔ FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology)
A simple needle test to check if the lump is benign or malignant.
✔ Core Needle Biopsy
If a more detailed tissue study is required.
⭐ Breast Lump Treatment Options
✔ 1. Observation & Follow-Up
Small fibroadenomas may not need surgery and can be monitored.

For infection or abscess, antibiotics and drainage may be needed.

- Small, hidden incisions
