Hi all, my cousin has benign at her breast.

Which specialist should she visit?
1) Oncology-Breast and Gynecologic Cancers or
2) Breast-General Surgery

Well, when i try to call to hospital appointment center they try to refer me to Breast-General Surgery 2). Some other friends go to 2) as well.

Logically these surgeon Dr will tend to do surgery? And in my thinking oncology Dr is more expert to know whether it need surgery or not?

Benign Breast Disease is just that, benign. Your Cousin must have already seen either a Doctor or Surgeon to have this diagnosed! I had a lump, saw my Physician, he sent me to the General Surgeon. He did a aspiration of the lump, explaining if he got fluid, fine, if he did not, straight to Surgery. He got fluid and removed it. Six months later the lump, which was a cyst, came back and so they operated removed a 'cluster of cysts'. Therefore I have or had Fibrocystic Breast Disease. As the breast is benign, why do you need Oncology which is for malignancy!

Benign means not harmful. You could go to a breast specialist physician (look in the yellow pages) and they might be able to remove some benign cysts by aspiration with a needle. A female physician might be more agreeable to do this. Sometimes it is worrisome to have a lot of benign lumps and constantly worry if one is cancer or not or if a new one has sprung up that is cancer.I am speaking of the U.S. specifically, not sure about other countries.

Ugh, I genuinely do not comprehend what the heck bypass over kimi is conversing about. Inflammatory breast maximum cancers is an aggressive variety of time-honored breat maximum cancers, and there are effective treatments, even treatments, that are properly established. the exterior condition will oftentimes no longer develop markedly wtih antibiotics, and in a large number of cases it receives worse over a era of weeks in spite of such remedy. IBC can genuinely have ultrasonographic useful aspects, because it has a tendency to thicken the deep layers of epidermis, which ensue on the ultrasound. My situation might want to be that you've a "worse" cellulitis, and amoxicillin isn't precisely the perfect antibiotic contained in the global for cellulitis. If the exterior variations sparkling with antibiotic or different supportive remedy (or in basic terms with time), you do not desire an MRI or a biopsy.
