What Does A Lump On The Left Side Of Left Breast Indicate?
I have found a lump on left side of left breast where I have felt tenderness for several weeks. The lump is very tender to the touch. ( I will call my family doctor for an appt and get an updated mammogram.) Does the tenderness itself mean anything in particular? Are breast cancer tumors painful?

Hello,
Lump in the breast which is tender can be commonly due to infection such as breast abscess. Kindly get yourself evaluated by consulting surgeon so that it can be diagnosed for what could be the cause and treated accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
