Breast Lump

A breast lump is a growth of tissue that develops within your breast. Finding a lump in your breast can be frightening and provoke anxiety. Most breast lumps aren't dangerous, but it's important to see your doctor to have them evaluated promptly.

What are the symptoms of Breast Lump?

If you have an underlying breast condition, you might notice changes in how your breasts normally feel, such as:

A round, smooth and firm breast lump
A large, solid-feeling lump that moves easily under your skin
A hard, irregular-shaped breast lump
Skin redness or dimpling like an orange
Changes in breast size or shape
Fluid leaking from your nipple

Causes:

Lumps in the breasts can have lots of different causes. They're often caused by something harmless like a non-cancerous tissue growth (fibroadenoma) or a build-up of fluid (breast cyst).Sometimes, a breast lump can be a sign of something serious like breast cancer. Breast lumps are very common. It is important that you regularly check your own breasts for breast lumps. If you notice a lump, there is no need to panic, but it is also important that you do not ignore or postpone getting care and treatment either. Be sure to seek medical attention if you notice a breast lump—call your doctor within a few days so that you can be given a prompt appointment for imaging or an office visit.

Even benign growths generally need to be removed, treated, or carefully observed, so you will need medical attention whether you have breast cancer or not. Also, once any dehydration is treated with drinks, encourage your child to eat as normally as possible.
