Common Benign Lumps What are some common types of benign breast lumps? The two most common types of benign breast lumps are cysts and fibroadenomas. In addition, there are several other conditions that can present themselves as lumps, such as fat necrosis and sclerosing adenosis. What is a cyst? A cyst is a fluid-filled sac that develops in the breast tissue. Such cysts typically occur in women between the ages of 35 and 50 and are most common in those approaching menopause. They often enlarge and become tender and painful just before the menstrual period and may seem to appear overnight. Cysts are rarely malignant and may be caused by a blockage of breast glands. How are cysts diagnosed and treated? Your physician may identify a lump as a cyst by physical examination, but many physicians confirm the diagnosis by mammography or ultrasound examination. The physician may then perform a fine-needle aspiration as the next step in diagnosing the cyst. This procedure involves guiding a very fine needle into the cyst and drawing fluid from it. This procedure also serves as the treatment for this condition, as once the cyst is aspirated, it collapses and disappears. Cysts can reappear at a later date, in which case they are simply drained again. Cysts are seldom malignant. What is a fibroadenoma?

Like every other part of our bodies, our breasts are subject to various types of problems. Breast lumps can occur in women of any age, but are more common in middle age. Although the majority of breast lumps are benign or non-cancerous, women still experience the discomfort of tenderness, pressure or distention within the breast. Conventional medicine provides women with a variety of treatments for breast lumps. Traditional Chinese medicine, which has accumulated abundant experience and knowledge in treating and preventing breast lumps over its long history, is another option for achieving and maintaining healthy breast tissue. Understanding Breast Lumps Breast lumps fall into two categories: benign lumps or cysts, and malignant tumors. Breast lumps are frequently, but not always, associated with the conditions of premenstrual breast distention, infertility, irregular periods, and menopausal syndrome.

However, when they are deeply imbedded in breast tissue, cysts will feel like hard lumps because they are covered with tissue. How are cysts diagnosed and treated?

Breast Lumps At A Glance What are causes of breast lumps? There are many causes of breast lumps. Some of these causes are harmless, while others can be painful and/or dangerous. Causes of breast lumps include infections, injuries, non-cancerous growths, and cancer Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women in the United States. Currently, death rates from breast cancer are declining. The decline in death rates may be due to a combination of earlier detection and better screening as well as improved treatments. While most breast lumps are harmless (benign), every breast lump should be evaluated by a doctor to exclude or establish a diagnosis of cancer. Infections that cause breast lumps Infections of the breast are especially common in women who are breastfeeding a baby (lactating). When the skin of the nipple (areola) is injured or cracked, such as occurs with nursing, bacteria can enter the wound and cause infections. In a breastfeeding woman, a hard area commonly thought of a "clogged milk duct" can form. Sometimes, certain treatments (see below) can prevent the painful, hard area from developing into an actual breast infection (mastitis). Infections can either be a deep pocket of pus, in which the infection looks like it is growing down into the breast (an abscess), or a wider area of skin redness that spreads out (

Additional Resources and References What Should a Woman Do If She Finds a Breast Lump? First, it is important for all women to practice monthly breast-self exams beginning at age 20. These self-exams allow women to become familiar with how their breasts look and feel so they can more readily detect any changes that may occur. Many women naturally have some lumpiness and asymmetry (differences between the right and left breast). The key to the breast self-exam is to learn to find changes in the breast(s) that persist over time. If a new lump is found and does not disappear after the menstrual cycle, then it should be reported to a physician for clinical evaluation. All persistent breast lumps should be evaluated by a physician. Practicing monthly breast self-exams helps women get to know their breasts and more easily detect changes.

The cause of benign breast disease is unknown. However, benign conditions don't occur before puberty and are less common after the menopause. Symptoms often vary during the menstrual cycle or with the use of the contraceptive pill. Both these facts point to a link with female hormones. There are several types of benign conditions. Breast cysts A breast cyst is a collection of fluid in the breast. The lump feels smooth and firm, moves easily and may be tender. If several cysts are grouped together, any swelling may feel irregular. Cysts often occur in both breasts and can develop anywhere within them. About 10% of women (one in 10) develop recurrent cysts. The fluid within the cyst comes from normal secretions. Towards the end of the menstrual cycle the cells in the breasts enlarge and swell. After a period the cells shrink and the fluid which is released disappears. Sometimes this fluid remains and forms a cyst.
