I'm really concerned about a tumor in my breast that's about 1.5 inches from the top. It feels round, but the inside seems flat. It's been painful twice a week, and I feel the same pain on my back where the tumor is located. I've been seeing a homeopathic doctor who said it would improve in six months, but it seems to be getting worse and I haven't done any medical tests yet. What should I do?

I'm 32 and have a cyst in my left breast. After seeing a doctor, they said it's fibroadenosis and mentioned surgery as a treatment. I'm really unsure about having surgery. Are there other options besides surgery that I could consider? And if I do go through with surgery, what kind of impact might it have on me? I'm a bit worried about these next steps.

Fibroadenosis is a benign condition, and in many cases, surgery may not be necessary. Non-surgical treatments, such as monitoring, medications for pain relief, or changes in lifestyle, are options to manage the condition. If surgery is recommended, it is generally safe, but its important to discuss any potential risks or concerns with your doctor for personalized advice.
