Hi,
I usually get my periods regular for five days cycle, and the flow is also decent. I have no other health issues, according to my knowledge. However, yesterday, while taking a bath and applying soap to my body, I noticed this swelling under my left breast. It is not swelling, and it is a palpable lump. I touched it, and I could feel it around and movable. I have no pain. I am scared that it could be breast cancer. I hope it is not that. Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
The lump under the breast is not normal and has to be investigated.
You have not mentioned whether it is painful or not.
I would suggest you get mammography of both of your breast done, and please get a consultation from a general surgeon.
Such lumps may be either a benign condition or may be due to injury or trauma turned into inflammation, or maybe pre-cancerous conditions.
Thank you.
