Lump under left breast.

Hi all.

Early last week I felt some sort of lump under my left breast ( where the bra line would be) its under my skin, feels semi hard and is slightly sore when I press on it.

Im not sure if this is something I should be worried about? Im extremely busy with work at the moment so I havent the time to book a GP appointment. Is this something I can wait and see if it goes away, or should I get it checked ASAP?

I have no family history of breast cancer that i am aware of. Im 33 years old. 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated  

Thank you.

  • Hello Aida 92 and thanks for your post,

    We would always recommend that if you find a lump in your breast that you get it checked out by your GP.

    The majority of lumps are your age are benign (not cancerous) but we can't say if this is the case in your situation.

    You can read about benign breast conditions here.

    I would advise you to get it checked just to rule anything serious out.

    I hope you know more soon.

    If you would like to talk this through with one of the helpline nurses then you are welcome to give us a call.

    The number to ring is freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.

    All the best,

    Catherine
