Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Yes, this is due to hormonal changes.. all the changes in the breast since puberty are all governed by hormones. So there is nothing to worry about.
Yes mammography along with ultrasonography help in diagnosis.
MRI is the best provided they have the facility specifically for breast.
The lump should be diagnosed.::
It is better to get this removed (excised) for 2 reasons.
1> your get rid of the disease and
2> you get the histopathological diagnosis- makes you tension-free that it is not a cancer.
