What Causes Feeling Of A Lump In The Lower Right Breast?
Hello, I am 22 years old and just recently felt something in my lower right breast (almost under). It s low, almost on a rib, and is firm. I can t tell if it is a lump or just a lymph node...It s close to the middle of my chest. It s sore now but only because I keep probing it, haha. Could it be just a swollen lymph node? I should start my period any day now too.
Hello dear I understand your concern Lump in the breast could be a lymph node, fibroadenona and breast cancer. I would suggest to consult the general surgeon and get the examined.
Lymph node can be fixed and movable and solid in nature. Fibroadenoma have a glandular feeling and movable. Diagnosis should be confirmed by USG scan, USG guided Fine needle aspiration cytology. Best is excision biopsy. If you have any pain, discharge and increase in size then it should be removed by surgery and mass should be sent for biopsy. Fibroademan should be regress by birth control pill and esrtrogen recepotor modulators. Hope this may help you
