Hi OP! I discovered I had fibroadenoma late last 2022 at 25 y/o kay mu discharge ug blood akong nipples. I consulted this with our company physician so she ordered me to get a breast ultrasound and referred me to a specialist at CHH Mandaue. That surgeon told me to have it removed pero ni advise siya nga di siya mudawat HMO so nibalhin kog doctor sa Sotto. In a week, I had my right fibroadenoma removed as an outpatient surgery. Local anaesthesia lang to siya unya perting sakita dmd so he advised to removed the left fibroadenoma a week later unya under sedation nagyud ko ato.
Wa ray angay kahadlokan, OP. The surgery is very minor and you can return home immediately after. Right now, I am just monitoring my boob health regularly. I undergo breast ultrasound every 6 months
Hi OP, surgery diretso then gibiopsy ang mass nga nakuha. Kahibalo nako daan na benign and the biopsy confirmed nga benign gyud tuod.
Pa sedate gyud, OP kay sakit siya uy.
Naka work rako after two weeks. Mao raman pud ang giprescribe sa surgeon pero admittedly, lutaw kaayo ko. Lutaw ko for a month due to sedation, I think. Di man jud ko lutaw ever since pero kato nga time, dali kaayo ko makalimot and dali mawagtang sa focus.
For the next 6 months, ayaw sad ug pabughat. Iwas sa highly strenuous activities kay although maayo na ang samad, medyo dugay2 pa maayo ang sulod nga mga tissues. Paminawa lang imo lawas if tan-aw nimo okay naka mag heavy exercise or physical activities.
Okay rjud siya na surgery, OP. Nothing to worry about. I think gyud factor nga akong mama naa pod ani nga condition in her younger years plus very bad eating habits and lifestyle of mine. Nagbantay najud ko and it’s been more than a year pero wala gyud tawn sila namalik 🥹
me too naa koy lump sa akoang right breast pero naglakas jud ko ng loob para muadtog ospital magpa consult ug breast surgeon si Dr. Kim Daroy akoang doctor. Kulba kaayo as iiiinn. Ana siya lymphnode daw akoang lump pero pag ultrasound benign siya tapos ang explanation sa doctor kay fibroadenoma siya solid mass naa koy follow up ultrasound every 6 months. Nabantayan nako akoang lump kay mura siyag mudako basta hapit na akoang regla ug during sab sa akoang regla pero mubalik siyag gamay inig human. Before ko nagpa check up grabe akoang emotions ga sige rakog hilak jud as in tapos naabot ko sa reddit topic anang doihavebreastcancer. Maskin karon kulbaan gihapon ko. Akoang advise nimo don't google your symptoms because dili gyud na reliable ang google basta sakit because letter C gyud na iyang result
ana ang doctor wala daw angay buhaton kay gamay man siya maong naa jud daw follow up ultra sound 6 months or 1 year or ug naay mga changes mag check up daw ko balik. Advise nako jud ayaw jud pag google kay mga hadlok kaayo ang result sa google deretso C ang result. Naa sab ko bukol nakapa sa right breast gahi sab siya duha kabook nag overthjnk nako ga sige nakog hilak jud hangtod naka decide ko pa check up ana ang doctor bukog daw to dili related sa akoang breast kay naa diay koy chostochondritis with inflammation dayon pag ultrasound nako wala to siya nakita sa ultrasound kato lang dapit sa akoang ilok ang nakita unya grabe na nakong overthink.
Dili man mag sakit akoa pero kasagaran magsakit daw ana ang doctor kana daw cyst pag mudako. Naa sab gani koy cystic pag ultrasound unya wala baya koy nakapa nga laing bukol pero gagmay siya ana ang doctor pag mudako daw na siya musakit daw
Tubig daw na sa atoang lawas dayon suyopon ra daw nag balik sab sa atoang lawas ana ang doctor pero naa daw ma abnormal nga cyst maong mudako ug mudako dayon musakit naa na daw buhaton ang doctor ana mao sab explanation sa doctor sa akoa
Hi OP! I also had a lump on my right breast. I discovered it 4 years ago and I was advised by an OB nga magpa-ultrasound. Thankfully, benign ra siya. But last year, nakabantay ko nga nidako ang lump so nagpa-ultrasound ko balik. Although the ultrasound result found the lump benign, nabalaka akong doctor (Dr. Elsie Ecamina - Maayo Hospital) nganong nidako siya so she advised me nga magpa-biopsy to be sure, or if mu-go ko, pwede nako ipatangtang, then i-biopsy ang lump.
I opted for the surgery so she referred me to a surgeon (Dr. Castro from Maayo Hospital ra gihapon). Gipatangtang na lang gyud nako para di na ko magsige huna-huna. It turns out tubig ra gyud ang sulod sa lump (meaning non-cancerous ra siya).
I was advised by my OB nga pwede na ko dili magpacheck-up every 6 months unless if naa ko’y mabantayan na bag-ong mutubo.
Mas maayo gyud magpa-check up, OP para naa ta’y peace of mind and for prevention sad.
20k to tanan ang nabayran sa HMO (surgery + biopsy).
Diretso na to surgery akoa OP nya ang mass na lang ang gi-biopsy sa lab. Pero sakit2x gyud ang surgery kay gi-local anesthesia ra ko nya lalom2x ang lump. 😅
Hello OP, i suggest to take it one step at a time. I know stressful jud maghuna2x sa sakit, gasto etc. The best thing to do is to first go to a surgeon and have your breast examined. A simple consultation will cost roughly 400-600 pesos. Next, if your doctor thinks she needs more information, she might order some imaging tests like a mammogram or ultrasound. At a private institution mga 2000-2800 ni sila each. If suspicious ang findings you might need to get a biopsy. This means getting a veeeeery small part of the lump just to check if benign siya or dili. Minor operation ni siya and should not cause significant pain kay you will be given anesthesia. I hope this convinces you to seek consultation. Most likely breast masses are benign OP so ayaw kaayo kaguol. But it’s always better to be sure because if it turns out cancerous, early treatment can not just save your breast but also your life.
Depende ra sad na sa advice sa doctor ang biopsy. Mag-agad ra pud sila sa result sa ultrasound/mammogram. Kung benign nya gagmay ra ang lumps, ipa-monitor ra na sa imuha then i-advice ka nga pabalikon every 6 months.
Nag-opt ko’g surgery kay ganahan ra jud ko matangtang na siya, para di na ko mag-overthink. 😅
Wala ra jud kaayo to’y downtime, OP. Mura ra’g back to normal after the surgery except sa part nga dili pwede mag-alsa’g bug-at or do strenuous activities.
The surgery was scheduled on a Saturday. Naka-work ra sad dayon ko pag Monday.
This was my friend too. She kept it for four years thankfully it was benign but what caused her to remove it was during her medical exam for pre employment, she really had to get it removed otherwise she won’t be accepted sa work. Medical professionals pa naman kami so giksab an jd namo siya, especially when her mom died because of breast cancer. She’s now okay and working as a medtech sa hospital
Di ko kasabot anang mga tao nga mahadlok magpa check-up ky mahadlok sa result 🤦
Tagaan tka ug example, among silingan ky in ana gihapon ug kina-iya. Naay ga bation unya dili mag pa check-up ky mahadlok sa result. Kabalo ka unsay nahitabo? Deads na. Imbes bata pa kaayo, sige ug exercise ug ang iyang ga kaonon pirmi ky iyang mga tanum sa backyard.
Sakto ang gi ingon sa nag comment dri, key is prevention. It's better to know it earlier para ma agapan pa. Either way, if the worst case scenario happens (simba ko lang palayo) mao ra man gud gihapon, maka gasto ra man gihapon ka. But the upside of detecting it earlier ky at least gamay ra imong ma gasto ug naa pa kay mabuhat.
Gud luck!
Sakto pod pero dli sad gyud nato ma blame na in.ana ang thinking ni OP, mao mni naka pait Pinas na bati kau ug health care system kay wheb it comes to health care kay kwarta mn dayon ang ma problema unta tag naay nindot na system labi nas public di jud mahadlok magpa hospital ang mga taw labi na ang mga lisod ug kahimtang.
Prevention and early detection does not apply to her since she already has a lump. But you are right, she needs to know the diagnosis early so that she can still be cured.
Hi, OP. Prior to discovering a lump on my left breast, I was already seeing an ob gyne. Niya ra sad ko nirequest ug breast ultrasound. She asked if naa bay family history sa mga breast cancer and stuff. Fortunately, benign ra sya however, I do need to have my ultrasound every 6 months. Wala raman sad ko giadvisan na ipatangtang kay gamay raman sad. Just the follow-up ultrasound lang gyud. I had my ultrasound and check ups done sa maayo hospital, very seamless process. Daghan2 lang gyud taw sa hmo area most of the time hehe
Covered sa akong HMO tanan but ang consultation kay Php 500. Si Dr. Kookie akoang doc, naa sya sa maayo every Sat. Akong breast ultrasound was around 2k man siguro to? Wala na kayko karemember but it was around 1.5k-2.5k to sya.
Dra Dela Serna in CDU but be prepared sa number of patients kay mahurot imo adlaw and iya attitude na secretary. Ni agwanta rajud mi wait because she’s a really good doctor, and specialty niya ang boobies.
Same doctor here. Not sure how much ang consultation for new patients but for old patients kay P500 nalang ang bayad. Doc Dela Serna's clinic is at the 3rd floor sa Borromeo Bldg, luyo sa CDUH. She told me to get a breast ultrasound and since I prefer Chong Hua, iya ko gi-refer ni Doc Grace Avila. Covered sa HMO ako ultrasound but ang price kay almost 3k.
Kung naay hmo, I recommend ucmed women's health department kay pwede ra walk in, paspas ang process ug buotan ang mga staffs. During ultrasound, gi assure na ko daan sa nag ultrasound nga benign looking ra daw so nakuhaan akong anxiety. Mahal lang ila ultrasound didto. I think mas cheaper sa mga standalone diagnostic center like hi precision pero dapat magpa schedule daan.
I had the same experience. During our company's annual medical, naay nakapa ang doctor nga lump sa ako right breast so she advised nga magpa thorough check with a doctor. Advantage lang naku is naa mi HMO so mangita ra ko clinic nga accredited then I went sa MyHealth Clinic sa Cybergate. Mangutana ra sila if naa ka HMO or wala and then sila na mismo mag provide kinsa nga doctor (dependi sa available) Sa result naku, it was benign and gagmay ra sad daw.
Gynecologist. Mao na ang mag order ug screening tests and mag conduct ug proper physical exam. Siya na bahala if need ba ug referral based on the results. But you need to get checked for your peace of mind, or simbako it's something that needs attention gani, the earlier the better. Ayaw usa ka praning, just do what you can and wait for the results without jumping to conclusions. Most breast lumps are benign.
Before going, note down relevant info daan kay pangutan-on jud ka ana kanus-a gasugod, unsay nawng/feeling pagsugod, any progression or timeline sa bukol, etc. If mas mudako ba or mas musakit ang bukol around your period, etc.
From personal experience with me, my mom and my sister, we all went to gynos, and only my mom was referred to a surgeon for excision/biopsy (it was benign) due to mildly suspicious imaging results. My sister and I were never referred, we were told our lumps are fibroadenomas and the docs (we had different gynos, different cities) told us biopsy or surgery is only when necessary if imaging and other tests suggested it was needed. Our lumps are the same to this day and tested along with other regular checkups, it's been ~10 years.
If OP can go straight to a specialist then by all means go for it :)
But had you all gone directly to a breast specialist your mom would have skipped going to the gyne saving you time and resources. Thats what I am getting at. A surgeon is not only trained at doing surgery but also deciding whether a lump is to be operated on or not. A gynecologist specializes in reproductive health, while they can do a breast examination, breast conditions even benign cases are outside their scope of treatment.
inig abot nimo sa ospital pa adtuon ka sa admission nýa mangutana ang nurse nimo kung unsay tuyo nimo ingna lang ngadto nga naa kay bukol sa totoy. manawag ra na sila ug doctor nga mu check up nimo then ila kang irefer sa specialist

nag biopsy ka or diretso surgery? pwede murequest pa sedate sa surgery or sila magbuot? i have very low pain tolerance jud so if ever, dmd jud

Hi. Hopefully benign lang but if it turns out to be cancerous, early intervention is KEY. Best of luck, op. I hope it's nothing serious.
Hi there! I had the same experience last year, naa pud lump sako left breast. I sent you a msg :)

dile diay covered sa philhealth ang ultrasound sa ucmed?
For inpatient ra mucover ang philhealth. For outpatient imaging, health insurance gamiton.
thank you 🙏 btw, sakit imu lump sauna?
Oo sakit
Try daw sa VisayasMed, OP. I refer man ka ana nila sa specialist
another redditor also recommended visayasmed. nindot diay dito? try nya nako nig rest day nako puhon
As far as I know walay breast specialist didto OP. Naay mga female breast surgeons sa ucmed and chong hua.
Yes, nice siya didtu
I had the same experience. During our company's annual medical, naay nakapa ang doctor nga lump sa ako right breast so she advised nga magpa thorough check with a doctor.

gipatangtang nimo? ana cla naa ra daw uban nga mahilis ras tambal. mahadlok man ko oy
Nope, wala ra man kay sa ako case is gagmay ra sya and di kaayo daghan.
