Question 1

breast swelling in 7 year old girl. noticeable  lump in one breast. pain and tenderness.

Accepted Answer

Doctor can examine: A pre-pubertal girl with breast swelling can be examined by her primary care doctor such as her pediatrician. Breasts can have normal breast tissue that then gets inflamed due to playground trauma, such as running into something that hits the breast bud. Such a bud can then get swollen and painful. Also possible is infection so a doctor's exam is needed, usually an in-person exam.

Question 2

what is the first step if i have breast pain and a mass?

Accepted Answer

Breast mass: See your regular physician or gyn, have an exam.  Based on the exam further testing will be ordered. Many breast masses are benign, but still may need biopsy. More concerning lesions on mammography and or biopsy, should be seen by a cancer surgeon and an oncologist.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

: Your body is talking to you.  To listen keep a diary of your breast pain issues and share with your Dr. The best first guess if u were in US would be that your are pregnant. Share your diary with your Dr and the two of you should be able to figure it out.

Question 5

constant breast pain in right breast, no lump or changes. had inflamed glandular tissue in other. should i be concerned? been on pill for 8yrs.

Accepted Answer

Get checked.: Constant pain is not normal if it lasts for more than a day or so.  Get checked.  Cancer is pretty rare in your age group and other causes are more likely.  See a doc and find out what's going on.

Question 6

i've also noticed no changes to my health or any breast pain since this lump has appeared on my right breast. is this cancer?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Breast cancer only causes pain and feeling of ill health and pain when the cancer is advanced. 

If you have a lump in your breast, you need to have it checked out soon.

Question 7

i've got unbearable breast pain with large lumps, is this a sign of breast cancer?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: But nobody at health tap can give you a "virtual exam"   you should visit your gyn or family doc and let him/her determine what to do next based on your history, your family, and your physical findings.

Question 8

i have  breast pain. it hurts to press on it and hurts to lift arm. felt a lump should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Any breast lump that is new should be evaluated by your primary care physician and mammogram/ultrasound if indicated.  Breast pain has other benign causes too.

Question 9

what could cause breast pain in a lady of 37 years of age occasionally without a lump and without breastfeeding?

Accepted Answer

Fibrocystic changes: Although you are not having a menstrual period, you are experiencing fibrocystic changes (especially if this occurs in both breasts).  This is common.  The pain can be aggravated by caffeine intake, hormone intake and stress. Decreasing all of these can help relieve the pain. Make sure you have had a mammogram and the results are negative.  Become familiar with breast changes with breast self exam.

Question 10

breast pain constant in right breast, numbness and tigling no visible lump how do i know if i have an invisible lump very sacred

Accepted Answer

Ultrasound would hel: Hi Lisa,

It is very common for women to have breast pain as the breasts are hormone sensitive organs.  Pain is rarely a sign of cancer unless in the late stages.  At your age I would lean toward fibro cystic breasts.  An Ultrasound of the breast can help determine if there is a cyst or not.  Remember that if there is a cyst this does not mean that there is a problem.
