General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

If I were your doctor, after a general physical examination of yours, I would advise you for a FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology), and an excision biopsy if need be for confirmation of the diagnosis of the FNAC. One could plan out a treatment only after getting the cytology/ biopsy report along with the reports of some routine blood tests.


I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
