What Could A Lump On Breast Under Areola Be?

I found a lump in my breast just under the areola this morning. It is hard and seems to be about a half inch long. I am 45, 5 2 and a 126 pounds. I am scheduled to go to training out of town this week for work. Should I back out of the training and make an appointment with my doctor instead?

Welcome to Health care magic.

1. If you have only noticed for first time you don't have to rush immediately to the doctor. Wait and see for a week if its just an cyclical changes seen in the breast.
2.If you feel its there for some time - then its worth to rush.
3.The sequence of procedure will be a mammogram followed by or correlative ultrasound breast to identify any lesions in the breast.
4.If there is one - an FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology will be take to find out type of mass.
5.Followed by appropriate treatment according to the findings. Good luck.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
