A breast lump is a localised swelling or growth within the breast tissue. It can vary in size and texture and may feel like a hard knot or a soft mass.
No, the majority of breast lumps are benign (non-cancerous). However, any new lump in the breast should be evaluated by a healthcare provider to determine its cause and rule out cancer.
Symptoms that warrant medical attention include a new lump that feels hard or irregular, changes in the size or shape of the breast, skin changes (such as redness, puckering, or dimpling) and nipple changes (such as inversion, discharge, or pain).
It's important to see a doctor promptly if you notice any new breast lump or changes in your breast tissue. This is especially crucial if you have other symptoms such as pain, skin changes, or nipple discharge.
