I have no lumps, no changes in breasts etc. But I have pain in my armpit. It isn't there all the time, but I feel it throughout the day. Has anyone else had this? Is it just hormonal or could this be a sign of tumor and breast cancer?
Pain in the arm pit can be due to many reasons, infections and breast pathologies being most common. Hormonal changes are also associated with some pain in the arm pit areas. But it is always wise to get yourself examined by a Surgical Oncologist to rule out any pathologies associated with breasts. Self examination is the key to early diagnosis and management of Breast Cancers. Undergoing a simple Mammography can rule out any queries regarding breast lumps or tumors.

Cancer in the colon comes with challenges. It can cause blood clots in veins near the intestines. This leads to pain, swelling, and trouble going to the bathroom. Surgery removes cancer and treats clots. Some doctors say no cure exists. But options often help manage symptoms and improve your life. Talk thoroughly with your oncologist.

Hi, I have a doubt, is there any specific reason for which immunotherapy is not recommended in the early stages of any cancer?
Chemotherapy works by stopping or blocking cancer cells from growing and immunotherapy works by boosting up a patient's immune system to find and then attack cancer. Though immunotherapy is gaining popularity but still it is in growing stage.
Chemotherapies have been key to cancer treatment from a very long time with all established and compiled data regarding the effects and side effects thus making doctors more confident about it in comparison to immunotherapy which is still newer. But gradually it is proving itself in some cancers as preferred line of treatment. Consult an oncologist for clear understanding.
Hope our answer helps you.

Hello, I am experiencing some symptoms of Prostate Cancer. Is there any way to check if you have prostate cancer or not without visiting a hospital?
Consulting a clinician and getting thoroughly evaluated is the right way to get yourself diagnosed and treated. Just searching, reading and trying to match your symptoms to a particular disease will lead to unnecessary stress, anxiety and delay in treatment. So please get examined by Urology Consultation doctors in Mumbai, or any city of convenience, and if some pathology is detected then get treated.

Hi, my father was diagnosed with carcinoma right colon, features are suggestive of well-differentiated mucinous papillary adenocarcinoma of the colon with metastasis to the lymph node and treated with extended radical right hemicolectomy side to side ileocolic anastomosis done under GA one year back followed by chemotherapy. We need a second opinion as his blood report reveals a presence of 17.9 ng/mL of carcinoembryonic antigen. Can you please suggest me a good hospital in Bangalore with less cost? The previous doctor suggested a PET CT scan.
As per my understanding, your father is suffering from carcinoma of the right colon with metastasis to lymph node and treated surgically and chemotherapy. Once any cancer which has spread to the lymph nodes it means it is stage 3 where the prognosis is not so good. But still consult an oncologist. Hope our answer helps you.

Your son got diagnosed with pineoblastoma, a brain tumor type. This affects mostly kids. Headaches, throwing up, eye issues, and feeling wobbly happen. Immunotherapy may help his immune system against the tumor. It works sometimes but not always. Side effects exist too, and costs matter. Your son's oncologist knows best about this treatment option.

Menstruation Disorders: Symptoms, Causes & More
Menstruation disorders – the menstrual cycle (menstruation) is a condition indicating a change in the functioning of the organs of the reproductive system. This disorder occurs in almost all women, the cause of their development can be both physiological and pathological disorders.
Before treating menstruation disorders, it is important to undergo a series of examinations, the results of which will help the doctor determine the main etiological factor and prescribe the necessary therapy.
Causes of menstruation disorders
The main cause of menstrual irregularities is considered to be hormonal dysfunction in women, which entails an unstable manifestation of bleeding. This condition can be conditionally divided into 3 main groups:
- Physiological – climate change, frequent nervous overstrain, inappropriate nutrition, menopause
- Pathological – gynecological diseases, chronic pathologies of internal organs and systems that have a negative impact on the work of the pelvic organs
- Medication – taking hormonal contraceptives, glucocorticoids, anticoagulants, anticonvulsants that can affect the menstrual cycle.
Violation of menstruation in women after 40 years is most often associated with age- related changes in the reproductive system. At this age, the depletion of the ovarian follicular reserve occurs, and the frequency of anovulatory cycles increases. Such changes in the female body are initially caused by irregular periods, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, then menopause.
In young girls, menstruation disorders is often associated with uneven maturation of the hypothalamic-pituitary and ovarian systems. Less commonly, congenital or acquired syndromes, chromosomal disorders, or reproductive system abnormalities can be the cause. Regardless of the cause, the treatment of the failure of menstruation should be carried out under the guidance of a gynecologist.
Symptoms of menstruation disorders
Depending on the etiological factor, menstrual irregularities can manifest themselves in different ways, therefore, a classification of clinical manifestations has been derived in gynecology, including:
- Algodismenorrhea – accompanied by pulling pains in the lower abdomen, nausea, headaches, menstruation failure
- Dysmenorrhea – an unstable cycle, manifests itself sharply without accompanying symptoms
- Hypermenorrhea – profuse flow of menstruation with a normal duration
- Menorrhagia – the cycle lasts up to 12 days with profuse bleeding
- Hypomenorrhea – scanty spotting
- Polymenorrhea – the interval between menstruation is not more than 21 days
- Oligomenorrhea – short periods with a duration of 1 – 2 days
- Opsomenorrhea – rare discharge at intervals of 1 time in 3 months.
In addition to the main clinical signs, there may be other symptoms that worsen a woman’s well-being and quality of life:
- Increased fatigue
- Irritability
- Decrease or increase in body weight
- Pain in the lower back or lower abdomen of varying intensity
- Nausea
- Frequent headaches, migraines.
All of the above symptoms should not be ignored by the doctor, who, after the results of the examination, will be able to determine the cause, make the correct diagnosis, choose the necessary therapy, and give recommendations.
How and what to treat
When a woman has a menstrual disorder, the doctor will necessarily prescribe a number of instrumental and laboratory tests:
- Ultrasound
- Histological analysis
- Colposcopy
- Flora smear
- Dad test
- Analysis of blood, urine
- Infectious screening.
The research results will help the doctor get a complete picture, determine the cause, and, if necessary, select drug therapy.
Treatment for menstrual irregularities directly depends on the cause, concomitant symptoms and characteristics of the patient’s body. If physiological reasons are the cause, it is enough to normalize the regime of the day and rest, monitor nutrition, and avoid physical and psychological stress.
When the cycle is disrupted due to infections, inflammatory processes of the ovaries, antibacterial drugs, uroseptics, hormonal drugs, physiotherapy, vitamin therapy are prescribed. Herbal medicine is prescribed as an aid. The choice of any drug always remains with the attending physician, who will select the required dose and duration of administration.
To regulate menstruation, doctors often advise to follow a diet, to exclude contact with any provoking factors. If the failure of menstruation occurs due to damage to the cervix, the woman may be prescribed surgical treatment.
Treatment and Prevention Tips
In order to avoid menstrual irregularities, doctors in the field of gynecology recommend women and girls to monitor their health, not to self-medicate. Every woman must follow certain rules, as well as have the necessary information:
- Girls’ periods should begin at the age of 10-14 years
- Keep a menstrual calendar
- Visit a gynecologist at least once every 6 months
- Timely treat all gynecological diseases
- Not to self-medicate, uncontrolled intake of medications
- Balance the menu
- Lead an active and healthy lifestyle.

Her 2 POSITIVE Right Breast Cancer ,after Chemo sessions planned for surgery, how many methods of surgeries are available, is there any difference of methodology from other hospitals of Hyderabad to Tata Memorial one. want to have opinion for the surgery sir,
Female | 57
There are several different methods of surgery that can be used to treat right breast cancer. The most common treatments are mastectomy (removal of the entire breast), breast-conserving surgery, and lymph node dissection. The type of surgery for you will depend on the size and location of the tumor, the stage of the cancer, and the your individual preferences. The methodology for performing surgery at Tata Memorial Hospital is likely to be similar to that of other hospitals in Hyderabad. However, there may be slight differences due to the individual expertise and experience of the surgeons at each hospital. You discuss your options with your doctor and ask for their opinion on the best type of surgery for you.
