Hello I am 25 and last year a fibroadenoma was discovered on my left side at 12 o'clock. Since I'm an anxious patient, I was allowed to have the biopsy and actually I was reassured. Until the assistant doctor suddenly said, before the chief physician arrived, that he kept 'finding' something to the left and…
Hello, unfortunately this is going to be a long text. At the end of August last year I felt a lump in my breast. I went to the gynecologist, who said the lump was movable and didn't think it was malignant. She referred me to radiology for an ultrasound, and after a long wait I…
I have a lump in my left breast and don't want a biopsy because, if it's negative, I wouldn't want to undergo radiation or chemotherapy. This isn't recommended; please talk to your doctor. This is my personal decision. Does anyone have any experience with having the lump removed as a preventative measure? It hasn't spread…
I have a lump in my left breast and don't want a biopsy. Doctors tell me that without a biopsy, surgery isn't possible. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Hello At the beginning of the year, around February, I was diagnosed with a fibroadenoma. It was checked with an ultrasound, but it wasn't noticeable when palpated; only the ultrasound revealed it. I insisted on a biopsy, even though the doctor said it looked like a benign fibroadenoma. The doctor who did the biopsy said…
For me, psoriasis started a few months ago, but unfortunately it now affects all sorts of places and seems to be spreading further and further. My dermatologist has now recommended MTX injections, which sounded like a good idea until I read about the side effects online. The potential for hair loss, in particular, is making…
So, I had a cervical biopsy four days ago because my gynecologist found some abnormal cells or something. For the past three days, I've been suffering from constant pressure in my lower abdomen, the feeling of needing to go to the bathroom, and slight pressure-like pain when urinating. Is this also a bladder infection, or…
Hello, First of all, I want to emphasize that I'm aware that this platform is not a substitute for a medical opinion or examination. I simply want to be able to assess what to expect, because I'm scared. Scared that I might have breast cancer, because they've scheduled a biopsy for me…but it's not until…
Is anesthesia required for a skin biopsy?
Good evening dear ones, I recently had a biopsy, and it turned out I had a benign tumor (submandibular gland tumor). When I later went to the specialist clinic, they were "shocked" that I had undergone a biopsy. This is an unusual procedure, and it's possible that the punctures could leave openings for the tumor…
Hey dear ones, To be honest, I'm sitting here crying like a baby. In the evenings, the worry keeps coming back and this topic torments me unbelievably. My little son (1 1/2 years old) has had a lump on his palate since he was a newborn. At first, it was a pin-sized dot, then it…
If multiple tissue samples are taken during a gastroscopy or colonoscopy, do you use fresh forceps for each sample, or do you always use the same ones? If so, do you wash them before taking another tissue sample, because it could distort the image if, for example, you first pinch away tumorous tissue and then…
