Hello, the diagnostic workup includes imaging studies. It is advisable to undergo these examinations at a reputable Grade A, Class 3 hospital, as such hospitals are equipped with advanced technology and offer higher diagnostic accuracy. Granulomatous mastitis can be treated either medically (with oral medications) or surgically, depending on the severity of your condition. You may select the most appropriate treatment option based on your individual clinical presentation. We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
