A word from Dr. Naresh

Many people live with a lump for years, quietly worrying about what it might be. Most lumps turn out to be harmless, and a short examination often settles the question on the same day.

If removal is the right choice, it's usually a short procedure under local anaesthesia, and you go home the same day. Every removed lump is sent for testing, for peace of mind.

The complete guide: everything you need to know

Everything you need to know about lumps & soft tissue swellings, in one place.

1Are you an ideal candidate for lumps & soft tissue swellings?

Suitability is decided at an in-person examination, with a review of your history and reports.

You may benefit if

  • A soft or firm lump under the skin, anywhere on the body
  • A lump that's growing, painful or changing
  • Swollen glands in the neck, armpit or groin
  • A lump that's red, hot or leaking
  • A lump that bothers you because of how it looks or where it is

When to wait or plan carefully

  • An infected cyst or abscess, which is usually settled first
  • Blood thinners that need a plan before the procedure
  • A small, clearly harmless lump that isn't bothering you
2Step-by-step: how it is done
  1. 1

    Examination

    The doctor checks the lump or wound; an ultrasound is arranged if it's deep.

  2. 2

    Numbing

    Most small procedures use local anaesthesia, so you can usually eat normally beforehand.

  3. 3

    The procedure

    Typically 20 to 45 minutes.

  4. 4

    Going home

    The same day, with dressing instructions and a date for review.

3Day-by-day recovery timeline and what to expect

6Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Could it be cancer?

Most lumps are benign. Features that need prompt assessment are rapid growth, a size over 5 cm, a hard lump fixed to deeper tissue, pain in a deep lump, or a lump that returns after removal. You'll be told clearly whether tests are needed.

Do I need a biopsy?

Not always. Many lumps are diagnosed by examination and ultrasound. A fine-needle test (FNAC) or biopsy is used when the diagnosis isn't clear.

Will removal leave a scar?

Every cut leaves a mark, but incisions are kept small and placed along natural skin lines, so most scars fade well.

Can I leave it alone?

Many benign lumps can safely be left if they're small and not bothering you. Removal is advised if a lump is growing, painful, infected, or its nature is uncertain.

How quickly should I get a lump checked?

Within a few weeks for a lump that's new, and sooner if it's growing fast, hard or painful.

Can lumps be removed without a cut?

Most need a small cut to remove them completely. Needle drainage may help some fluid-filled cysts, but they often refill.

Are swollen glands a surgical problem?

Usually they're caused by infection and settle on their own. Glands lasting more than 3 to 4 weeks, or that are large or hard, need assessment.

What is the cost of lump removal in Vijayawada?

The cost depends on the treatment you need, the hospital and room type, any tests, and the anaesthesia used. Dr. Naresh Veeranki gives a clear, itemised estimate after examination, before anything is booked, and most health insurance policies cover lumps & soft tissue swellings. Call or WhatsApp +91 83338 26666 for an estimate.
