What are breast lumps and should they be a cause for concern?
Breast lumps can be either benign or malignant. Most lumps are benign conditions like fibrocystic changes, cysts, or fibroadenomas. However, any new, persistent, or unusual lumps should be evaluated by a healthcare provider to rule out breast cancer. Diagnostic tools such as mammograms, ultrasounds, and biopsies may be used to determine the nature of the lump.
