Found a Lump in Your Breast? Here’s What You Should Know Noticing a small lump in your breast can be worrying — that’s normal. But not every lump is cancer, and not every cancer shows symptoms. That’s why awareness, not fear, is your best first step.

Why Do Lumps Happen?

Lumps in the breast can appear due to several reasons:

• Hormonal changes during periods
• Energy Sources: Utilises microwaves, radio waves, or ultrasound.
• Benign (non-cancerous) conditions like fibroadenoma
• Infections or cysts
• Most lumps are harmless. But ignoring them isn't the right choice.

When Should You See a Doctor?

It’s better to get checked if the lump:

• Feels hard and doesn’t move
• Is growing over time
• Comes with skin changes or nipple discharge

What Will the Doctor Do?

Usually, the doctor will do a physical exam, followed by a scan like an ultrasound or mammogram. If needed, a biopsy may be recommended. All these are simple, painless, and quick.
