Breast Surgery

If you find a painful lump in your breast, it's important to see a doctor for an evaluation as it could be due to various reasons, including benign conditions or, in rare cases, breast cancer.

Breast tenderness usually starts early in pregnancy, often in the first trimester, as the body begins to change and prepare for breastfeeding.

You should be concerned about a breast lump if it feels hard, is growing, or causes skin changes. It's important to see a doctor for any new or unusual lumps.

Breast pain before a period is often due to hormonal changes and can be relieved with chamomile or vitamin supplements like vitamin E and B6.

Sore nipples can be caused by Raynaud's phenomenon, caffeine, or nerve issues from the neck.

In females, right side chest pain above the breast can come from chest wall issues like strained muscles or costochondritis, breast-related conditions including complications from implants, or lung and pleural problems.

Numbness in your left breast might happen when nerves in the area are affected by treatments like surgery or chemotherapy, or sometimes by the cancer itself.

Armpit pain is usually not the only sign of breast cancer. However, if the pain is new, persistent, or comes with other unusual changes, it's important to have it checked by a doctor.

It is not unusual for some people to feel pain in their armpit, even years after a mastectomy. This can happen for various reasons, and each person’s experience may be different.
