What Causes Tender Lump On Breasts While Having Implant In The Arm?

I found a lump on my left breast its behind my nipple it moves when I feel it I have been on my period fir 4 + weeks due to me having an implant in my arm it can vary on how long I bleed for but this is the longest yet? The lump is quite tender to touch but also both breasts are tender due to my menstrual cycle am I right to be worried?

Hello.

Such lumps are at times common due to a hormonal influence. And so I would indeed recommend a revisit to your doctor as you have been bleeding for more than a month because of the implant and your doctor may have to take action.

while at your doctors get your lump examined by palpation or even a mammogram if necessary.

Best wishes
