What Tests Are Recommended For Diagnosing Lumps Under The Breast?
Question: I have asked this question previously but did not receive the complete answer to my question. My question is this: I have a lump under my under/side of breast and would like to get it checked out. Where do I begin? I have good medical insurance but no primary care physician and would like to know where do I begin to receive the proper diagnosis. Of course, the location makes me feel perhaps cancer, but I'm not sure the type of doctor to visit to determine the cause of the lump.
Brief Answer:
Bilateral mammography test
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Since you are having a lump inside of breast you need to do a bilateral mammography test.
If any space occupying lesion is found in the mammography then biopsy has to be done to rule out breast cancer.
You need to visit an oncologist
Hope I have answered your query.
Take care
