When should lump removal be after stopping breastfeeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends..: The findings on exam (size, tenderness, change if any) and imaging (ultrasound, xray) help decide whether removal is needed for diagnosis a persistent mass, especially if solid and not painful should be removed.
