The short explanation
Haan, aap 18 saal se upar hain to aap akeli doctor ke paas ja sakti hain, aur doctor aapki jaankari privately rakhte hain. Breast mein lump ki jaanch karwana zaroori hai, aur jawaan umar mein zyaadatar lumps benign hote hain, jaise fibroadenoma ya cyst. Phir bhi doctor ka examination aur aksar ek ultrasound hi bata sakta hai. Aap chahein to kisi dost ko saath le ja sakti hain, aur woman doctor maang sakti hain.
What depends on your situation
The parts of this that change from woman to woman. Uncertainty is stated, not hidden.
- College health centre, government hospital ka surgery ya gynaecology OPD, ya koi breast clinic aapko dekh sakte hain. Government hospital mein kharcha kam hota hai.
- Doctor poochhenge lump kab se hai, period ke saath badalta hai ya nahi, aur family mein kisi ko breast ya ovarian cancer tha ya nahi. In sawaalon ke jawab pehle se soch lena madad karta hai.
- Agar baad mein aage tests ya treatment ki zaroorat ho, to doctor aapko yeh decide karne mein madad kar sakte hain ki ghar par kaise aur kab batayein.
What this answer cannot determine
The boundary of online education. These need a clinician who can see you.
- Yeh jaankari nahi bata sakti ki lump kya hai. Woh sirf examination aur scan se pata chalega.
Questions for your clinician
Take these with you. You can add any of them to an appointment card.
- Kya mujhe ultrasound ki zaroorat hai?
- Kya yeh fibroadenoma ya cyst jaisa lagta hai?
- Kya meri jaankari private rahegi?
- Aage kab dikhana chahiye?
