Not always: This is why mammography has been useful in identifying early breast cancers.

Not usually...: But there are always exceptions to any rule. Breast cancers can present as a mass, or with nipple discharge, or skin dimpling etc. The only way to know for sure and get some peace of mind is to see your doctor for an evaluation. May need mammogram, ultrasound, MRI and/or a biopsy for a definite determination. Unless you have a strong family history, odds are low you're dealing with a cancer.

Not usually: Breast cancer can be painful, but is not usually painful. It is also very uncommon in 22 year olds. Fibrocystic disease usually is uncomfortable and is very common in 22 year olds. Obviously, you need to see a doctor to tell the difference for certain. All the best, .
