Why is treatment sometimes done earlier than the payment?
When a case is urgent and vital, hospitals often proceed with delivering medical care right away to save a life, even before the finalisation of admission procedures. Usually, when this happens, hospitals put the bill on our credit until the funds are transferred to their accounts. That’s why the chronology can sometimes be in disorder.

About pathology
A breast lump is a localized swelling or bump that can be felt or observed in the breast tissue. These lumps can vary in size, shape, and texture and may be found in different parts of the breast. Breast lumps can be caused by various factors, and they can be either benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous).

Background
Fortune enjoys playing football and basketball, participating in school co-curricular activities, and playing football with friends at home in his free time. When he's not studying or helping with household chores, Fortune dreams of becoming an engineer in the future. Two weeks ago, he noticed a swelling on his right breast but dismissed it. Over time, the swelling has grown larger and has become increasingly painful to touch in the past three days. This has started affecting his self-esteem, causing concern for his parents. After seeking advice from a local clinic, Fortune's dad discovered Helpster Charity, which then referred them to Rheema Hospital for further treatment.

Prognosis
Some benign breast lumps, such as fibroadenomas or cysts, can cause discomfort, pain, or tenderness. Leaving them untreated may mean continued discomfort. Breast cancer, if left untreated, can continue to grow and spread to nearby tissues and lymph nodes. As it advances, it becomes more challenging to treat and may lead to more severe health consequences.
