Which Doctor to Consult for Breast Lump?

Don’t panic. Although it’s normal to feel worried about any abnormal lump, worrying won’t resolve anything. The best thing to do is to consult the right doctor for breast lump, on time. The right type of doctor can be a general surgeon, plastic surgeon, or an oncologist, depending on the type of breast lump. As it is not possible to identify whether the lump is benign or cancerous just by looking at it, you should consult a general practitioner first. The doctor will recommend some diagnostic tests, such as a mammogram, breast ultrasound, breast MRI, and/or biopsy, to identify the lump. Once the lump is identified, the doctor will refer you to a specialist, i.e., a general surgeon, plastic surgeon, or an oncologist for proper treatment. If the lump is benign, a general surgeon or a plastic surgeon can successfully remove the breast lump. However, if the lump is cancerous, you will be referred to an oncologist.

  • Which Doctor to Consult for Breast Lump?

    Breast tissues experience changes and have a tenderness that comes and goes throughout the menstrual cycle. However, if the changes are accompanied by the symptoms below, it indicates the lump is serious, and you should see a doctor immediately-

    • There is a round, smooth, and firm lump in one or both breasts.
    • The lump is large, solid, and easily moves under the skin when touched.
    • A hard and irregularly shaped lump is present.
    • The breast skin becomes red and/or uneven.
    • The shape and size of the breast changes.
    • Transparent or milk-colored fluid leaks from the nipples.

    Some of these symptoms are very similar to breast cancer, which is why you might feel alarmed. But getting the lump diagnosed is critical to ensure that it is problematic.

    Note- Benign breast lumps can be treated through non-surgical and surgical methods. But for cancerous breast lumps, surgical removal is the only option.

    Now the question arises even if you know which doctor to consult for a breast lump, how will you decide which one is the best choice?

    How to Choose the Best Surgeon for Breast Lump Removal?

    Here are some tips that will help you to choose the right surgeon for breast lump removal.

    1: Surgeon’s Training & Certifications

    Paying attention to who you consult for breast lump removal is crucial to ensure that you get optimal care. So, start by checking the surgeon’s training, educational qualifications, and board certifications. The surgeon should have a valid practicing license and have specialization in performing breast surgery. This will ensure the best possible outcome whether you require surgical or non-surgical treatment for the breast lump.

    Along with the certifications, also check if the surgeon has a malpractice lawsuit or disciplinary action filed against him/her. Such records signify how passionate and dedicated the surgeon is to his/her practice.

    2: Surgeon’s Experience & Skills

    The overall experience of the surgeon is a major factor in deciding whether or not the surgeon is the right choice for you. Ask the surgeon about his/her experience performing different types of breast surgery. Find out whether the surgeon specializes in breast lump removal surgery.

    The surgeon’s experience reflects his/her skills and knowledge. With years of practice, every surgeon gains ample knowledge to identify the potential risks and complications associated with breast surgery and learn how to mitigate them to improve the surgery outcome. Therefore, you should ask as many questions as possible to the surgeon about the procedures he/she performs on a regular basis.

    3: Hospital/Clinic’s Accreditation & Technology

    Finding out where the breast lump removal surgery will be performed is also important. Knowing about the hospital or clinic the surgeon is affiliated with will determine the quality of care you are likely to receive. So, ensure that the doctor works at an accredited and reputed treatment center.

    Also, ensure that the hospital/clinic is well-equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure and standard facilities. Check whether the treatment center has invested in modern diagnostic and surgical technologies approved by USFDA. These things will ensure that you get the best quality care at the hospital/clinic.

    4: Surgeon’s Staff

    Another thing to consider while choosing a surgeon is his/her staff. It is the doctor’s team who will be coordinating with you throughout the treatment. Therefore, it is important that you ensure that the surgeon has a well-trained nursing staff who is friendly and supportive. The medical staff should be responsible and treat the patients with empathy.

    5: Surgeon’s Communication Skills

    While you are having a consultation with the surgeon, see how he/she communicates with you and answer your questions. A good doctor must be patient, calm, and considerate while answering queries. Ensure that the surgeon is truly interested in your concern and is not focusing on personal benefits.

    Are you going through any of these symptoms?

    Listen to the surgeon carefully and ask the following questions-

    • What kind of breast lump do I have?
    • What is the best treatment option for the lump?
    • Where will the surgery be performed?
    • What are the risks and complications of the procedure?
    • Is it safe to delay the surgery?
    • How long will it take to recover from the surgery?
    • Will the surgery affect the shape, size, and functioning of the breasts?
    • Will health insurance cover the cost of breast lump removal?
    • Can you show me the before-and-after pictures of the patients who’ve had breast lump removal surgery under your care?

    The surgeon should be transparent and honest about the procedure, its risks, benefits, and outcomes.

    The Bottom Line

    There is no doubt that choosing the right surgeon for breast lump removal will take a lot of research and effort from your side. But doing this will ensure that you get treatment from the best surgeon.
