What Could Be The Reason For Having A Painful Lump On The Inside Of My Breast?
Hi there, I am a 20 year old female and over the past couple of months I have had a painful lump on the inside of my right breast, there is also an identical lump on the other one in the same place but feels less painful and swollen, do you know what this is? Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
It can be fibroadenosis, specially if the pain is cyclical and the lump is multiple.
If single, then can be even Fibroadenoma, but they are usually painless.
Better to show to a surgeon for a physical examination and a needle biopsy if needed.
Both conditions are non malignant... dont worry.
