Hi, I Feel A Slightly Hard Knot Under My Right
Question: Hi, I feel a slightly hard knot under my right breast, I think it could be a muscle but I'm not sure. I'm only 28 years old and there's no history of cancer in my family. It hurts only slightly when I rub against it and it seems to stay in place. Thank you
Brief Answer:
An ultrasound scan can be done.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
It could be a benign(non cancerous) swelling like fibroadenoma or cysts. Cancer is very very unlikely at this age.
You can simply go for an ultrasound scan to make a diagnosis. If there is a diagnostic confusion or suspicion, a fine needle biopsy may be required.
Hope I have answered your query.
Thanks
