What are the reasons for breast tenderness with lumps?

Patient's question:

Today in biology class, the teacher did mention breast cancer. I seem to be experiencing some of its symptoms recently, such as breast tenderness and lumps inside. What could be the reason? Is it breast cancer?

Doctor's answer:

The situation you mentioned is related to breast cancer, with recurring breast tenderness and the presence of hard lumps, leading to suspicion of breast cancer. In cases like yours, the most common conditions are breast hyperplasia or fibroadenomas, with breast cancer being relatively less likely. You can undergo a detailed breast ultrasound examination. If breast cancer is suspected, a needle biopsy can be performed. It is recommended to have regular check-ups at the hospital.
