The breasts are made up of fibrous connective tissue, fatty tissue, nerves, blood vessels, and lymph nodes. Naturally, the breast tissue has a bumpy texture due to which the breasts feel lumpy.

Types of Breast Lumps in Dubai

Below are enlisted the types of breast lumps and their symptoms:

Fibroadenosis:

Fibroadenosis is a term used to describe a group of benign (non-cancerous) conditions that affect the breast. It is also known as fibrocystic breast disease. It can develop in one or both breasts or can affect just part of one breast. The symptoms include breast pain, breast enlargement, and the lumpiness of the breast particularly just before or during periods. The pain and lumpiness usually disappear after your period.

Fibroadenoma:

Fibroadenomas are made up of fibrous and glandular tissue and are a smooth, well-rounded lump that sometimes develops outside the milk ducts. Milk ducts are the tiny tubes in the breast that carry milk. Also known as a “breast mouse,” it has a rubber-like texture and moves easily when touched. A fibroadenoma will sometimes disappear, but it can remain and grow larger, particularly during pregnancy.

Breast Cyst:

Breast cysts are very common and normal and are fluid-like a sac that develops within the breast tissue. Cysts vary in size. Some can be very tiny, while others can grow up to several centimeters in diameter. Single or multiple cysts can occur in one or both breasts. Although there are no reported symptoms, yet some women may experience pain if the cyst size increases during the menstrual cycle.

Breast Abscess:

A breast abscess is a painful collection of pus that forms under the skin of the breast. It also results in high temperature or above inflammation i.e., redness and swelling. It can also develop in a female even if she is not lactating.

In most cases, the non-cancerous breast lump does not require any treatment until and unless the lump is too large or painful. Once the cause is diagnosed, our experienced doctor Humaa Darr will advise you about the necessary breast lump treatment.

If the doctor during the breast mass treatment happens to suspect cancer, a breast biopsy may be recommended. If cancer is found, treatment usually involves breast surgery and chemotherapy or radiation therapy, depending on the stage of cancer. At HMS Mirdif Hospital, we apply technological advances to transform cancer treatment.

Although pain is rarely a sign of breast cancer, it’s best to see a provider to be assured.
