Lumpectomy
I was really worried when I first got diagnosed with Fibroadenomas. But my experience with Dr. Garvit Chitkara has been nothing short of miraculous. He is not just an amazing doctor but also a kind-hearted person. The way he explained everything to me made it so much easier to understand what was happening. The treatment was successful, and I'm so grateful to him. His team was also very supportive throughout my journey. I highly recomend Dr. Chitkara to anyone dealing with breast health issues

Questions answered By Dr. Garvit Chitkara (7)
I have uneven breasts since puberty one is larger than the other. Is this normal or does it need correction?
Answered on 3rd Nov '25
Mild asymmetry between breasts is common and normal. However, if the difference is significant or causing discomfort or self-consciousness, surgical options like breast reshaping or fat grafting can be considered. It’s not a medical problem unless accompanied by a lump or discharge.
Can stress or lack of sleep increase the risk of breast cancer? I’ve been hearing this a lot recently.
Answered on 3rd Nov '25
While stress and sleep deprivation affect overall health, there’s no direct evidence linking them as major causes of breast cancer. However, chronic stress can affect hormones and immunity. A healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, good sleep, and balanced nutrition is always beneficial.
I often get breast pain and tenderness before my periods, especially in the upper outer area. Is it something to worry about or just hormonal?
Answered on 3rd Nov '25
Cyclical breast pain is common and usually related to hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle. It typically improves after the periods start. Wearing a supportive bra, reducing caffeine, and maintaining a balanced diet help. If pain persists throughout the month, schedule an appointment with oncologist to rule out any doubts.
