Breast lump, breast tenderness..

Patient's question:

Breast lump, Breast tenderness

Doctor's answer:

A breast lump typically refers to a disease where a lump forms internally due to differences in the composition of breast tissue. Breast lumps are the most common breast disorders, and many benign conditions manifest in the form of breast lumps. Therefore, the most important aspect of differentiating breast lumps is distinguishing between benign and malignant conditions. In addition to breast cancer being malignant, lumps caused by conditions such as fibroadenomas, hyperplasia, galactoceles, and fat necrosis of the breast are benign and can be treated through acupressure and reflexology massage.
The following are reasons for new breast lumps:
Cysts;
Bacterial infection of a nipple wound;
Fibrocystic breast disease;
Having a non-spreading benign tumor.
Hormonal abnormalities;
Having a malignant tumor.
