A member asked:
Have a small painful-ish lump on the inside of my left breast. im about to start my period so both breasts are tender. im 21. should i worry?

Breast evaluation: New breast lumps should always be evaluated by a doctor. At age 21 it is highly unlikely that this is a cancerous condition. You can schedule a visit to have an exam. Breast cysts or fibrocystic changes are possible causes. Weight changes, diet, caffeine intake, ill fitting bras are all causes.
