a. BREAST LUMP

A breast lump is a swelling bump or a bulge in the breast area. It usually feels different or seems independent of the breast tissue and appears with discharges in other instances. Although most breast lumps are noncancerous tumors, they still, to some degree, need to be thoroughly checked for the possibility that they are.

Also, a common symptom is the occurrence of discharge, which is often unrelated to cancer. Anyhow, women are advised to do monthly self-examinations of their breasts and, as a matter of further examination, go through a mammogram, x-ray which might include MRI or an ultrasound of the breast area.
