You can look on the computer for Fibrocystic Breast Disease. This condition is not an actual "disease" it just basically means women with lumpy breast. You might want to make an appointment ASAP!!! just to be safe but you are young you should not have any real problems. Just to make you feel better read up on Fibrocystic and then head on down to the doctor. Good Luck!!1

This does not necessarily indicate cancer, but it is extremely appropriate to see a doctor.  There are a few causes of lumps in the breast, many of which are benign.  However, seeing a doctor will not only diagnose your problem, it will also help to ease your mind.

A mammogram would not help you with a lump in this area, as it would be impossible to image.  Go see your doctor.  An ultrasound might be a good place to start.  X-rays would be no good and a CT or MRI is very expensive.  Most of the scans I have performed for this reason turn out to be benign.  Usually, a lump there is attributed to fat distribution.  BUT, you cannot be too careful.  And if you have it imaged, then you know pretty much for sure what you are dealing with.

Generally, breast lumps which are hard, have an irregular border and surface, and are tethered either to the skin or the underlying muscle are cancerous.\n\nBreast lumps which are smooth, well defined and mobile, tend to be cysts or fibroadenomas, which are not cancerous.\n\nIf you have a lump in your breast, the best thing you can do is see your doctor. They will do an examination and may be able to reassure you that the lump is nothing to worry about, or they may refer you for more tests to rule out a malignancy. Even if it does turn out to be a cancer, the treatments for breast cancer are very good now, especially if you catch the cancer at an early stage, so go sooner rather than later.

Spicy, I don't know how old you are. If you are young, you may still be developing. It also means that your breasts are tender before you have your period which is natural. It could also mean that you are pregnant. You may want to take a pregnancy test. Those at the store don't work. I would definitely have a doctor take a look. We don't want it to be something serious which I rather not say. If you are over 21, take a mammogram. Yeah...good luck

Well, there is little I can do without being able to examine your girlfriend in person.  Breast development in a "normal" female is usually around age 11...so that means she was either quite a bit early or may have undergone precocious puberty.  Her breasts (depending on age) should have stopped growing at some point.  If they began to grow suddenly she might be pregnant.  As far as her areolar pain you will have to wait for the doctor to exam her.  Usually breast tenderness is a common side effect of a woman's cycle or again it could be puberty (depending on age).  If she has been giving herself regular breast self exams and recieved regular mammograms she should have nothing to worry about.  Of course with pain in the breast we might think cancer, but has she had any discharge (bloody,milky)?  Is the areola tender or does she feel a lump?  Is the nipple inverted (pushed in)?  All these questions will be asked by her doctor at the upcoming exam, but don't worry.  Most times in a young female we don't think cancer...usually we are thinking cyst which can be easily drained.

As a cancer nurse, I can not emphasize strong enough even MEN get breast cancer!!  I'm not saying you have cancer, but I would make an appointment to get it checked out, especially if you noticed changes.  It is most probably a mammary gland or lymph node, but I'd get it checked out to find out what it isn't.  Your body is going thru changes related to puberty, so it could be a hormonal thing. Yes, even men go thru hormonal changes too. You could also have your mom look at it, I know it sounds ickey, but (she probably knows how to do a breast exam on herself) she could touch the areas in question on you and she could give you insight on what is normal. If that grosses you out to much, just tell her you need an appointment with your Dr.

He was either f'ing with you or you may have some fluid in the breast.\n\nIt could be indicative of a hormone in balance or some other problem.\n\nWhen you were in for your yearly examine did the doctor examine your breasts for lumps, etc?  If not go back in.\n\nAlso ask your friend whether he is really your friend and ask him to tell you the truth.\n\nIf you are unable to extract any fluid by squeezing your nipples (kind of like milking a cow) then he may have been joking or being nasty.\n\nDon't take it too seriously until you speak with your doctor!  good luck! :-D

I work as a mammographer, and I see lots of different breasts every day!  They come in all shapes and sizes, and lots of women aren't symmetrical.\n\nThe only time to worry about different shaped nipples is if one suddenly becomes inverted.  This can be a sign of breast cancer and needs to be checked out by a GP.  Having said that, though, some women can be born with an inverted nipple and it never causes them any trouble.\n\nI'd say you're perfectly normal!

Don't pay any attention to those rude comments these people leave on here. I thought yahoo question was a place where you could go to ask questions no matter what it is. Dam people chill out..\n\nIt could be possible that you are pregnant,having sore breast is one of the first symptoms. Take a home test now and than one if you miss your period. Good luck

Hey don't feel bad for this.  I am 29 and I have small breasts.  I wear a B cup, but I don't have a lot of breast tissue around my nipple area.  Even my breasts are small I think they are very beautiful.  I like that my nipples are so soft, pink, perfect roundness, and since my breasts are small it makes my nipples stick out more (very attractive for my man).  Look to yourself and you will find some things you like about your breasts even though they are small.  Stay natural, it is the secret to everlasting beauty.

maybe the bra your wearing those nasty wires tend to move then it sores the breast for days hint buy a good bra & hand wash it & air dry it, if you feel lumps get checked for cancer,if your going through mentapause thats just nature changing your body, if your having un protected sex may be pregnant some women as they say carry baby in there breast then too you can experince the soreness before,durring,or after your monthly cycle

Dear Lady, lumps in the breast cause fear. But as others here have told you see your Dr. soon. I spent this past yr. battling the disease. I am free now & feel great. Something I was told, I will tell anyone who will listen. Fear kills far more women then breast cancer does. Most women survive this cancer, even through if you listen to the media it seems the other way wins. Not true. Finding this little monster early & getting treatment is the way to survive. Chances are good you have cyst. Be my prayer for you. Still if it should turn out the other way I want you to have the best chances available. I was very scared. Now I feel great. Please go.

This could be caused from breast strain.  Maybe you need a bra with better support.  Another possibility could be fibroids caused by too much caffeine consumption.  They can be painful.  If it is really bothering you, go to your doctor.  Breast pain can be caused by a lot of things, and what might not normally hurt a different part of your body could cause you tremendous pain in your breast area because they are so sensitive.

Usually pain is not a sign of cancer . When doing a self breast exam and you feel a lump usually something that is bad doesn't hurt and the lump will feel like it is fixed to the surrounding tissue. Usually we all have weird lumps before and during out menstrual cycle so self exams should be performed after your period. \nIf you feel pain it could be an infection or a blocked gland, just to be on the safe side go get it checked out.\nCancer does not discriminate between age, size and cultures, unfortunately it doesn't matter how old or small you are, there are always possibilities

They said benign? That means non-cancerous. I've had two lumps removed from my right breast. Both were benign. I'm not sure about the debris. My mammogram tech has never been so detailed. Have you had a sonogram yet? If you feel it-have it removed. It's better to be safe than sorry. Good luck.
