Breast Lump – Early Detection is Key
What is a Breast Lump?
A breast lump is a swelling, bulge, or localized thickening in the breast tissue. While most breast lumps are non-cancerous (benign), some may be a sign of breast cancer or other underlying conditions. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for best outcomes.
Common Causes of Breast Lumps
Fibroadenoma – Benign (non-cancerous) tumors common in young women
Cysts – Fluid-filled sacs in the breast
Infections (Mastitis or Abscess) – Painful, red, and swollen lumps
Fat Necrosis – Lump caused by injury to breast tissue
Breast Cancer – Malignant lumps, usually hard, irregular, and painless
Symptoms to Watch For
Hard or soft swelling in the breast
Change in size, shape, or skin of the breast
Nipple discharge (clear or bloody)
Pain, redness, or warmth in the area
Swelling in the armpit
Skin dimpling or retraction of nipple
Note: Not all lumps are cancerous, but every lump needs medical evaluation.
When to Consult a Doctor?
If the lump is hard, fixed, and painless
If there are changes in nipple or skin
If you have a family history of breast cancer
If the lump persists for more than two weeks
Early evaluation using breast examination, ultrasound, or mammography can help rule out cancer and start timely treatment.
