Suggest Treatment For Lump In Breast
Question: I'm 24 and I have a lump in my right breast I have had 2 ultra sounds in the past and both have come back as normal breast tissue. my breasts feel a bit bumpy in general, this lump is firm but is squishy under the skin and it feels like it has a slippery surface, it's easy to locate, when I press it it feels like it can move from side to side, I just wanted to check as I am a little worried.
Brief Answer:
Looks benign- most probably fibroadenoma
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate information.
Read and understood your history and concerns.
Firm squishy lump, under the skin of the breast, slippery surface and feels like it can move from side to side in a 24 years old female with 2 ultrasonography showing normal breast tissue is indicative of either a normal breast tissue or a very benign fibroadenoma.
If it is so, there is no need to worry about.
I would advise you the following:
Clinical examination by a General Surgeon.
FNAC.
This will confirm the diagnosis.
I hope this answers your query.
Have a great day.
