Lumps and Bumps in the Breast: top 7 Causes

Fibrocystic changes affect more than half of women and involve lumpy, uneven breast tissue.
Symptoms of fibrocystic changes worsen just before the menstrual cycle.
Fibroadenomas are rubbery masses that move beneath the skin, common in young women.
Breast cysts, fluid-filled sacs, are benign and can affect up to 70% of women.
Intraductal papilloma presents with nipple discharge and requires surgical removal.
Breast cancer signs include dimpling, puckering, redness, or scaliness of the skin.
Age, genetics, and lifestyle factors significantly impact breast cancer risk.
Regular screening is recommended starting at age 40 to detect breast cancer early.
Ultrasound and mammograms are crucial for diagnosing both benign and malignant breast masses.
A needle biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing fibrocystic changes.
Reducing caffeine and fat intake can improve symptoms of fibrocystic changes.
Evening primrose oil supplements can help with breast pain.
Complex fibroadenomas slightly increase the risk of breast cancer.
Genetic mutations, such as BRCA1/2, significantly heighten breast and ovarian cancer risk.
Early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer lead to a better prognosis.
