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 gynecology
Left breast mass with benign features KIV Fibroadenoma (BIRADS III) A left breast mass with benign features, KIV fibroadenoma (BIRADS III), means there is a lump in the left breast that appears non-cancerous on imaging but is being monitored. Fibroadenoma is a common benign tumor made of fibrous and glandular tissue, often seen in young women. The term “KIV” means “keep in view,” indicating the need for observation. BIRADS III classification suggests the lesion is probably benign, with a very low risk of cancer (less than 2%). Surgical removal is needed if the mass enlarges, becomes symptomatic, or shows suspicious features.

Background
Vivian is a 19-year-old young woman who completed her secondary education three years ago and hopes to study law in a higher institution. She lives with her widowed mother and two siblings, and the family struggles financially. Her mother is a petty trader. They live in a one-room apartment in a building with several tenants, use borehole water for daily activities, and have access to electricity. She presented with a painful lump in her left breast that she discovered while bathing five months earlier. On examination, she was not pale, anicteric, and afebrile (36.7°C). A mobile, fairly well-defined mass measuring about 2.2 × 3 cm was felt in the left breast, with no palpable axillary lymph nodes. She was diagnosed with a left breast mass with benign features, likely fibroadenoma (BI-RADS III). She requires surgical excision of the lump and histology, but her mother cannot afford the cost of treatment, so they sought support from Helpster Charity.
Prognosis
The patient has been evaluated for a breast mass with benign features and is currently stable, with surgical excision advised for definitive treatment and diagnosis. The planned procedure will relieve symptoms and confirm the nature of the lump. With timely surgery and appropriate follow-up, complete recovery is expected. The overall prognosis is good.
