Accepted Answer

Breast exam: Anytime one notices a new mass, lump, bump or skin change in the breast it is very important to have this evaluated by a doctor who can help determine if any work up or testing is needed. Benign causes of breast pain can be caused by weight gain, diet changes, changes in exercise patterns, ill fitting bras, caffeine intake, hormonal fluctuations and others.

Question 2

armpit pain and breast lump = ca?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: There are many things that can give you a breast lump that are not cancer. However i would get it checked by your doc asap, so you can have peace of mind.

Question 3

21y/o female have unilateral upper outer left breast lump near axilla only felt when laying down,when pushed it moves to other direction .worried?

Accepted Answer

Breast lump: Given your age it's probably benign like a fibroadenoma or lipoma. That being said any breast mass should be taken serious and you should start by seeing your PCP for a full exam.

Question 5

the week or 2 before my period starts i get very lumpy breasts but this month i have a lump in my armpit...is that normal? i recently had a mammogram (2 months ago) but not sure if a mammo checks the armpit area...please advise.

Accepted Answer

Likely breast tissue: It is very common for breast tissue to extend into the underarm. The premenstrual swelling is very common. Unfortunately mammograms do not pick up underarm lesions well. If you can feel a mass u should see your doctor. She or he can reassure you that it is normal or otherwise.

Question 6

carry heavy bag on shoulder, now pain under right armpit and breast? also last day of period lumpy breasts&under arm. breast lumps related to endo?

Accepted Answer

Not sure without: Actual examination of these lumps, but any lumps on the chest requires proper diagnosis and treatment. Please see a healthcare provider asap.  Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.

Question 7

my grandma 82 has had a painful breast lump for 3 weeks. ultrasound showed another lump on armpit: lymphadenopathy inflammatory. she had fever once and just a little redness over breast lump. no breast changes. no family history. can this be cancer?

Accepted Answer

: Breast abscess versus breast cancer, likely the former, breast examination is necessary for a correct diagnosis and treatment. I put my money in the diagnosis of breast abscess which should be treated with antibiotic + incision/drainage (I&amp;D).

Question 8

how will i know if i have breast lump?

Accepted Answer

Self-examination: Tara-that is often a very difficult thing to determine for patient and doctor, since the breast by it's very nature is a very "lumpy-bumpy" organ.  If you perform self-examination, you will be more likely to identify any new lump, which should prompt a visit to your doctor.  If they share your concern, they will send you to a breast specialist and may order tests such as an ultrasound+/-mammogram.

Question 9

my friend is experiencing  breast lump.

Accepted Answer

Evaluation: There is a good chance that it might not be cancer but it is certainly important to get it checked and provide more information to the physician.
