[|Human|] Hi my partner who is male has noticed a lump behind his nipple which is hard and very painful. He went to the doctors today who just gave him paracetamol and said its normal it can often happen. No further tests or anything being carried out. How can they rule out cancer without further tests.
[|AI|]  Welcome to Chat Doctor. 1. The lump in the breast in a reproductive age group can be fat globules / tissues. 2. If the doctor has palpated / felt the lump and given you paracetamol - then possible that it's not a suspicious. 3. If it was not examined, and you are sure with it then go for a second opinion. 4. As you asked - how to rule out the cancer / malignancy. Initially a USG - ultrasound examination.5. Ultrasound will give exactly what nature of the lump is it and its source and extensions. FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology will give definitive diagnosis of the lump. Good luck. Hope I have answered your query,anything to ask ?
