Female breasts are made up of fibrous connective tissues, blood vessels, intricate milk producing system of lobules and ducts and fat. This anatomy together creates a lumpy structure. A breast lump is much different from these normal irregularities. Harmless breast lumps are generally solid and unmovable, but if the lump moves, is soft to touch and filled with fluid, then it can be dangerous.

The size of the breast cancer lump varies from patient to patient. Also, the breast cancer does not usually come with pain, but benign conditions do. If you feel any such moving lump in your breast or know anyone with such problem, then schedule an instant appointment with Female Surgeon UAE at Al Zahra Hospital for the best breast cancer treatment in Dubai.

There are variety of benign breast lumps and conditions a female can suffer from. They are:

Fibrocystic Changes – This is the most commonly occurring benign breast condition that affects at least half of all women. Symptoms include tender, fibrous rubbery tissue, and fluid-filled cyst. These changes are related to hormonal dysfunction and might increase as you approach middle age and then suddenly disappear after menopause. Your doctor might conduct biopsy to ensure that this is fibrocystic change and not cancer. You may be asked to take some hormones in the form of medication.

Nipple Discharge – You may experience nipple discharge whether you have a breast lump or not. When the color of the nipple discharge is from yellow to green, then it is due to benign fibrocystic condition. While the clear to milky discharge is due to hormonal malfunction. If the discharge is in blood color, then can be a symptom of cancer. A red discharge can also mean infection or benign tumor.

Cysts – Likewise fibrocystic changes, cysts are round oval sacs which can be 1-2 inches long, filled with fluid. They may come and go with the monthly menstrual cycle. Your doctor might advise you to undergo an ultrasound or a few tests to determine whether it is cyst or something else. In very rare cases, these cysts can take the form of cancer.
