There are two types of lumps which females of your age face called fibroadenosis and other is fibroadenoma.
Fibroadenosis is the lumpiness of the breast especially during the last few days just before periods which accompanies with dull aching pain.
Fibroadenoma is a continuous lump usually less than 5cm in size in the lower part of the breast. It is painless and does not increase or decrease in size with cyclical monthly periods.
For fibroadenosis, drugs like evion and other multivitamins and primrose extracts are helpful but in fibroadenoma, the treatment is the excision of the mass.
In your case, it seems to be a fibroadenoma and treatment is excision. Prior to excision, a tissue diagnosis is required for which an FNAC along with mammography is to be planned.
Please meet your general surgeon, he will help you in the management.
