Lumps in a woman are recurrently caused by fibrocystic change, fibroadenomas, and cysts.

Fibrocystic changes can take place in any or both breasts. These changes turn out in masses women (especially during the reproductive years) and are considered a normal oscillation of breast tissue. Having fibrocystic breasts does not increase your risk for breast cancer. It does, however, make it more difficult to interpret lumps that you or your doctor find on exam. Many women be aware of tenderness within addition to the lumps and bumps associated near fibrocystic breasts.

Fibroadenomas are non-cancerous lumps that feel rubbery and are efficiently moveable within the breast tissue. Like fibrocystic change, they occur most normally during the reproductive years. Usually, they are not tender and, except in rare cases, do not become cancerous then. A doctor may feel somewhat certain from an exam that a extraordinary lump is a fibroadenoma. The only process to be sure, however, is to remove or biopsy them.

Cysts are fluid-filled sacs that regularly feel similar to soft grapes. These can sometimes be tender, especially just since your menstrual period. Cysts may be drained in the doctor's bureau. If the fluid removed is clear or greenish, and the lump disappears completely after it is drained, no further treatment is needed. If the fluid is bloody, it is sent to the lab to look for cancer cells. If the lump doesn't disappear, or recur, it is usually removed surgically.

Other causes of breast lumps include:

Milk cysts (sacs chock-full with milk) and infections ( mastitis ), which may turn into an abscess. These typically take place if you are breastfeeding or have not long given birth.
Breast cancer , detectable by mammogram or ultrasound, then a biopsy. Men can seize breast cancer.
Injury -- sometimes if your breast is badly bruised, here will be a collection of blood that feels close to a lump. These tend to resolve on their own in a concern of days or weeks. If not, the blood may have to be drained by your doctor.
Lipoma -- a collection of fatty tissue.
Intraductal papilloma -- a small growth inside a milk duct of the breast. Often occur near the areola, the colored fragment of the breast surrounding the nipple, in women between the ages of 35 and 55. It is harmless and frequently cannot be feel. In some cases the only symptom is a runny, pink discharge from the nipple. Since a watery or bloody discharge can be see in cases of breast cancer, this must be evaluated by your doctor.

3 weeks tardy?

If you have not have a mammiogram, get one!! and if your doc doesn't suggest you need one switch docs and find someone who will listen to you! This could be something you don't want to give the brush-off...however, with that mortal said, most lumps are benign (not cancerous), so if you have have all the trial run, and they are negative for breast cancer, it could be fibrocystic (sp?) disease of the breast...especially if it is particularly sore during pms...also it could be an infected or clogged milk duct...if it's fibroids, take vitamin E that help a lot!
