Thickening in lower inner quadrant of breast

Hi everyone, hope everyone’s well! At the start of this year I started to experience breast pain just on the underneath of my breast. I watched it for a few weeks and then spoke to the doctor that I also found something unusual like a lump. I was terrified as I was only 18 at the time (19 now). I went to the gp and was referred to the breast clinic for an ultrasound. Results came back and everything was fine. This was in May/June. I decided to forget about it as I was told I had normal lumpy breasts overlying my rib which is thought to protrude outwards a bit on my right side (where I found a lump). However here I am in late July booking another gp appointment because I was so nervous and anxious about it. Im going back to see if they can feel a lump or if it’s just me. If anyone has experienced anything similar and has any advice for a younger person such as me I would really appreciate it. thank you xxx

  • Hello lilynormaclaire and welcome to our forum.

    It's good to see that you took proactive steps by visiting your GP and getting an ultrasound earlier this year. It's natural to feel worried and anxious about breast health concerns, especially at a young age. Don't hesitate to discuss your concerns openly during your appointment.

    In the meantime I hope others who can relate to what  you're going through will come along shortly to chat with you and offer advice.

    Once you know more, please come back and give us an update.
