A member asked:

Have on & off pain in side of right breast dr scheduled ultrasound. worried!! she mentioned tendency for lumpy breasts. what does this mean??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You are young: As the body ages the breast tissue can become cystic and develop lumps that are benign. In your case check to see family history. Have your ultra sound and then ask your doctor is diagnostic mammogram is indicated
