earlier on today i found a lump in my boob. this lump is quite big and hard. my boobs have been quite sore the past few weeks. i am beginning to really worry about this and have no idea what it could be Confused . has anyone got any idea what this lump might be and could this be serious?

first thing on monday, go to the hospital and get it checked by the hospital...

early detection and intervention will save you a lot of suffering later..

i hope you'll be well..

remember.. first thing on monday...

If it large and runs around when you feel for it, it is probably a benign tumour. But if it is large, painless and does not move around (stays fixed in one place), then it is very suspicious of malignancy. In any case, you need to see your doctor asap…he can put a needle into it and suck out some cells for the pathologist. The pathologist will examine it under a microscope and tell you if it is benign or malignant very quickly.

what does benign mean? i cant go to the doctor as that means i would have to tell my mother and i could not tell her this at the moment as i do not wish to worry her too much as she is pregnant at the moment. can i get this sorted at my family planning clinic?

the Bear SG

benign = it's just there, and not harmful...

family planning clinic? dunno.. i guess you gotta wait for the ladies to come online to advise... but do go to the doctor's...

OpenGuy SG

boobs is an important assets to women,since u found a lump better treat it seriously be visiting a family doctor,or a female doctor then c e results,and in e mean while,do not anyhow guess.

augleo SG

oh ya, after the extraction the cells the area will swell abit. will subsidy for 2 days. i hv done the extraction for my lymh nodes at the neck.

BrUtUs SG

or just go polyclinic and let them have a look first… but this kind of thing the earlier u get it scanned the better…

stellazio SG

Go check.

It is quite common for woman to have lumps at the "boobs" area.....
have family history of b r e a s t cancer?????
BTW, how old r you???? If you are young (ie. less than 40) you r in the lower risk group of developing cancer .....

But again..... nothing is 100% for sure.....go for a check up first to confirm....

Most likely to be benign....dun worry too much.....

I have my lump extracted recently too...been since given the clean bill of health...... Wink

the Bear SG

you said you don't wanna worry your mom... for obvious reasons...

here's the time to be really mature and to show her that you can look after yourself, and that she has nothing to worry about, and let you do what you have to do, and that her main thing now is to deliver a healthy baby...

again, i hope you will be well... and be strong yah?

starblue SG

don’t scare yourself as yet.. jave a good night’s sleep, then go check it up tomorrow… may the force be with you.

browniebaobao SG

go to a polyclinic or private clinic and ask doc to refer u to hospital immediately. swelling is no joke.. see a specialist asap.

OH-FF SG

1st child ?

You are milking Embarassed Ah jie Zoe Tay also said the breasts will feel sore and lumpy hard . Consult your doctor to check that everything is ok. You mother can tell you her experiences if you consult her.

These forumnites are either being kind or like me ... interested in Boob issues.

Wind SG

Go have it checked. There's no point worrying, just get it checked. And in case if anything happens, at least it's still in time for treatment.

I lost a friend due to cancer. And my girlfriend's auntie can barely make it past these 2 or 3 days.

I ain't saying this to scare you, just to remind you that when there's a problem, get it fixed.

Hopefully, it turns out to be false alarm. Wink
