A breast lump is a mass or growth of tissue that develops within the breast. It could occur as a bulge, protuberance, bump, or a localised swelling in the breast that feels and looks different from the surrounding breast tissue.

A breast cyst is a fluid-filled sac located in the breast tissue. They are mostly benign or non-cancerous and occur most commonly in women aged 35 to 50 years, although they can develop at any age.

The majority of breast lumps are benign tumours that remain localised and do not spread to neighbouring tissues. They can be surgically removed and cause no harm to other organs of the body. An understanding of benign breast disorders is essential to help relieve unnecessary apprehensions.

A woman’s breasts are made of specialised tissues supplied by blood vessels, lymph nodes, and nerves. Breast cancer is the uncontrolled growth of cells in the breast. This mass of abnormal tissue is called a tumour. Breast cancer can develop in both men and women, although female breast cancer is more common.

Surgery is the safest form of treatment for breast cancer during pregnancy. Chemotherapy may be administered after the first trimester (first 3 months of pregnancy). Other forms of treatment, such as radiation, targeted therapy, and hormone therapy, could harm your baby and are best administered after delivery.
