What Causes Painful Lump In Breast?

Hello, 5 yrs ago I went to the dr with a pea sized lump in my left breast that was very sore. You could not feel it from the outside but it felt like a pebble in your shoe.they advised me to take vitamin d and quit coffee.now the pea sized lump is the size of a large grape and there is a new one that ive just noticed. I am self employed and do not have insurance. I've heard cancer does not hurt and these do. Should I worry?

Thank you for asking Healthcare majic.

My name is Dr Ehsan Ullah &
I have gone through your query.

you have mentioned that you had pea size lump in your breast which has now enlarged ...

one of the key indication for breast evaluation by physician is
Increase in size of already existing breast lump.

I understand that you have mentioned about your self employement and having No insurance then it doesn't mean that you should Neglect such lesions .

remember that breast lumps are common.

Most often they're noncancerous (benign), particularly in younger women.

Still, no matter how old you are, it's important to have any breast lump evaluated by a doctor

Breast lumps can be caused by different reasons
like
infections,
injuries,
non-cancerous growths,
and cancer

you should consult your physician (GP)/Breast physician for early assessment and work up since it's recommended and early detection and treatment of breast pathologies have better outcome with good prognosis .

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
