Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Greetings, I discovered lately a lump on my right side on my waist at first I didn’t recognize it, but then i saw it growing slowly I touched it to see if it hurts but actually it didn’t hurt at all. But sometimes i feel it hurt but so little pain not that hard. I’m so scared that it could be cancer because I know when there is a lump it doesn’t hurt unless it’s in the late stages.
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
In most cases this is just a swollen lymph node which doesn't require any specific treatment. Also, considering your description this may be some other benign subcutaneous lesion such as lipoma, fibroma or atheroma and if there are no skin changes such as redness, pus discharge or pain and fever then you should not be worried since it can be easily surgically removed under local anesthesia. Then it there are doubts it can be sent to the patohistologic analysis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
