Is the pain severe when pressing the upper part of the breast?

Patient's question:

Expert:
Hello!
I recently noticed that when I press the upper part of my right breast, there is a pain similar to the ache after bruising, and I can vaguely feel a lump. It has been about three or four days, and the condition has neither worsened nor improved (only one breast is affected).
I would like to ask the expert: what could be the cause of a condition like mine, whether I need to seek medical attention immediately, and if there is a possibility of it worsening or developing into a lesion?
Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on what you've mentioned, it can't be said for sure that there is a condition of breast cancer. From the symptoms you described, it's also possible that there might be a condition of hyperplasia of the breast. If you frequently experience pain symptoms, you could consider having an ultrasound examination of the breast to check. Then, you can receive symptomatic treatment based on the examination results, which would be a good approach.
