Breast Lumps

Overview

A breast lump is a mass or growth that develops in the breast tissue. It can be found in one or both breasts and can vary in size, shape, and texture. While a breast lump can be a sign of breast cancer, most breast lumps are benign (not cancerous). The treatment for breast lumps depends on the causes and symptoms.

  • Breast tenderness

  • Breast pain

  • Nipple discharge

  • Modification in the size or shape of the breast

  • Inflammation of the breast

  • Painful lump in the breast

  • Changes in the skin on the breast, such as dimpling.

If you find the symptoms of a lump in your breast, it is important to consult the best gynecologist near you to examine your breast and get the best possible treatment.

There are numerous causes of breast lumps, including:

  • Fibrocystic Changes: Fibrocystic changes are a common condition in females of reproductive age. In this condition, the tissues of the breast become lumpy and tender.

  • Breast Cysts: Breast cysts are also most common in females of reproductive age. These fluid-filled sacs can develop in the tissues of the breast.

  • Fibroadenomas: Fibroadenomas are noncancerous solid tumors that are the most common in young women and can develop in the breast tissue.

  • Breast Infections: A breast infection can cause a lump to develop in the breast tissue.

  • Breast Cancer: Breast cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the breast tissue, and can cause a lump to develop, but it can also cause other symptoms, such as changes in the skin of the breast, nipple discharge, or pain in the breast or armpit.

To diagnose the breast lumps, your doctor will perform a physical exam and ask you about your symptoms and medical history. To determine the causes of the lump, they may also order imaging tests, such as a mammogram or breast ultrasound, to get a detailed view of the breasts. In some cases, your doctor may also recommend a biopsy, which involves the removal of a small sample of tissue from the lump for testing.

The treatment options for breast lumps depend on the cause of the lump. Some lumps, such as breast cysts, may not require any treatment. Others, such as fibroadenomas, may need to be removed surgically. The treatment for breast cancer depends on the stage and type of breast lumps including:

  • Fibrocystic breast changes: There is no particular treatment for fibrocystic breast changes, but over-the-counter pain relievers can help relieve any discomfort. In some cases, the symptoms of fibrocystic breast changes can be relieved by wearing a supportive bra and avoiding caffeine and alcohol.

  • Breast cysts: Most cysts in the breast do not require treatment. However, For a large or painful cyst, your doctor may drain it using a needle. In rare cases, the surgical procedure is done to remove the cyst surgically.

  • Fibroadenomas: Fibroadenomas may be removed surgically if the doctor finds fibroadenoma grows or changes.

  • Breast infections: Breast infections can be treated with antibiotics depending on the type of bacteria that is causing the infection.

  • Breast cancer: The treatment for breast cancer varies depending on the stage and type of cancer. It may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of these treatments.
