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

Any lump in the body needs a cytological/histological diagnosis specially if it starts growing suddenly. Therefore, I would advise you to take an appointment with a general surgeon who after a clinical assessment of the lump might advise you for an FNAC(fine needle aspiration cytology)/excision biopsy after other routine blood and urine tests. Further management would depend on the report of the investigations.

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.
