A member asked:
Good evening. i have been experiencing a large hardened lumpy area in my left breast that is very painful. what could be the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breast mass ?'s: "Large, hardened lumpy areas" in the breast should be evaluated by biopsy. A digital mammogram can provide additional information, but most masses as described should be investigated thoroughly by your gyn or surgically consulted surgeon.
