I Have a Breast Lump
Seeking the advice of a medical professional is important since one of the most poignant aspects of breast masses is that early detection can lead to significantly improved outcomes.
It is important to know that a breast mass is either benign or malignant. Sometimes breast tissue experiences abnormal growth but then manages to stop on its own or liimit itself to a particular area. The only way to know for sure is to be seen in person, so that a biopsy can be performed if needed.
Other times the mass continues to enlarge and may in fact be malignant.
Experiencing a breast mass can be very traumatizing. It's important to remember that getting accurate information as soon as possible will help you make the right health care decisions.
