Asked for Male, 64
I have prostate from past 5 years and recent PSA is 3.87 and I did it again after 1 week it is 3.92 Whether I should plan operation or not? What to do?
Answered on 9th Oct '24
A PSA level of 3.87 to 3.92 is a little high, but not too high. It's good that you are keeping an eye on it. Prostate enlargement is due to many reasons, but not all cases are treated with surgery. You should keep checking with your oncologist and follow the monitoring of your PSA levels to decide what is best for you.

Answered on 8th Oct '24
You may have the usual fibrocystic disease in both breasts. This means saclike structures filled with fluid and more tissue in your breasts. You may feel breast pain, lumpiness, or swelling. It is not cancer and is common among women. For symptomatic relief, it is good to wear a supportive bra, minimize caffeine consumption, and take pain relievers. Always monitor any changes, and do regular breast self-exams.

My one breast is bigger than other have a 18 yr long bigger Brest side armpit light pain and swelling have a 25 days
Answered on 8th Oct '24
It is a fact that breasts can differ slightly in size, which is normal. However, in case of a case when one side of the breast is too big, painful, or swollen, you must be concerned. This may be a result of hormonal changes, cysts, or an infection. It is highly recommended that you visit an oncologist to get it checked and find out the right treatment.
Asked for Male, 25
I am a 25 years old male, So doctor i laying down i last week and as i was laying down i was rubbing my chest and felt something so let me describe properly, I have an inverted nipple my left one and it has been since birth ( just want to add that before describing what i felt) So i felt this tiny rubbry ball like thing in that left inverted nipple, it's very small, The crazy thing is that I'm 1000% sure it has been there for years i just never paid attention to it, It went to a pharmacy to ask about it and the asked, if i was feeling any pain or noticed anything unusual around that area or armpit, i said no and the said I'm perfectly alright, And yes feel no pain, no swelling, no colour change, nothing, Also i have small breast cause I'm a bit chubby, please what's your analysis
Answered on 4th Oct '24
What you are sensing in your left inverted nipple is possibly a harmless cyst or a benign lump. Because you've had it for years without any changes or symptoms like pain, swelling, or color changes, it seems to be nothing serious. Yet, it always is a good idea to have it checked out by an oncologist to make sure you are okay.

FNAC report- Site- Left breast lump Aspirate- Milky fluid Microscopical examination- Smears are hypocellular showing few aggregates of epithelial cells with vacuolated cytoplasm in a lipid rich foamy background. Bare isolated nuclei are also present in the background along with foamy macrophages. The nuclei of the cells have uniform chromatin, regular nuclear margins with abundant cytoplasm. Impression- Galactocele of left breast Note- Kindly correlate clinically
Answered on 18th Sept '24
It looks like the problem is the galactocele located in your left breast. This is a lump that occurs naturally when the breast milk forms a lump. It can be after childbirth or while nursing and is not harmful. The symptoms are a painless lump and milky fluid when squeezed. Usually, treatment isn't needed, but if big, it can be removed. Keep an eye on it and let an oncologist know.

37 year old female with lump on chest above left breast
Answered on 13th Sept '24
The lump on your chest above your left breast could be due to a few reasons. It might be a benign (non-cancerous) ovarian cyst or a swollen lymph node, or it might be caused by hormonal changes. Other reasons for the pain could include an injury or an infection risk. It is important to consult with an oncologist to clarify the cause and obtain the right therapy.

Asked for Female, 55
Hello, my sister discovered she had a breast cancer in March 24, she had a successful lumpectomy in March 28, the pathology report said that tumor was 22 x 23 x 18 mm, has 5 involved lymph nodes, ER strong positive ( score 8 ), PR negative, HER2 negative... after that she did a pet/CT scan in May and the opinion of the radiologist written in the report was " patient with right breast cancer after surgery showing no evidence of hypermetabolic lesion distinctive for loco-regional resudal/recurrence of metastatic disease. I also attached the detailed results of the pet/ct itself. Now does it recommend for her to start chemotherapy or to do oncotype dx test first and btw she had 25 sessions of radiotherapy, so after the surgery ( in March) we had the radiotherapy in ( June) and now we don't know we have to start chemotherapy or do this test first since she has ER positive, HER2 negative and she's postmenopausal. She is 55 yrs old. Now I now your opinion, your advice and recommendations for us. And if she did the test and the result is law and chemotherapy is still recommended for her can she take at least a less intensive chemotherapy regimen.
Answered on 9th Sept '24
From the information that you were able to share, it sounds like your sister had the necessary treatment done successfully for her breast cancer. Given that she is ERpositive and HER2 negative, the Oncotype DX test can be used to determine whether she requires chemotherapy. If the test indicates low risk, she might not have to undergo intensive chemotherapy. This check is based on the study of the genes present in cancer cells and helps to determine treatment methods. It is important to talk about these options with her oncologist so that the best solution can be found for her case.

Answered on 3rd Sept '24
A painful lump in the breast that has been there for four years could be a sign of something serious, like a cyst or even breast cancer. Please visit a breast surgeon or an oncologist to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.
Asked for Female, 25
You I have had pain in only one breast since last December. The pain use to come and go. But it’s be straight pain for 4 months now. Sometimes I feel shooting pains and it goes into my armpit and down my arm. My nipple has a skin tag on it. My break has a discoloured spot about two inaches away from nipple. Not on my nipple but really close to it I have little little lumps where thick puss can come out. My nipple itself is not inverted but there is an indent right beside the nipple. Two months ago for about 3 days my gland on my neck right above my collar bone was swollen on the same side as my breast with problems
Answered on 3rd Sept '24
Pain, shooting pains, skin changes, lumps with pus, and swollen glands are all signs that need attention. All of these could be the result of different things, one of them being infections, the other one being breast cancer, but that is less common. It's vital to have an oncologist look at you and, if necessary, run tests for a definitive diagnosis and treatment.
