What Causes Painful Lump In Breast?
I have a painful lump in my right breast, towards to armpit. I have had a mammogram, diagnostic mammogram, and an ultrasound and have been told it s an enlarged lymph node. This has been ongoing for a year. The lump is getting bigger and more painful. I feel like I am doing the things I should, yet I don t feel like I m getting any answer. Any suggestions for a next step.

Hello. Thank you for using healthcaremagic. If the lump you have is an enlarged lymph node as suggested by the tests to have already undergone, the next step is to undergo an FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology )procedure to aspirate the cells in the lump and examine for the correct diagnosis. This should put your worry to rest. Have a happy health.
