ok,,so..lately I've gotten back into 'boob massaging' lol
but I've noticed a kind of small oval lump when I press down in a certain area on my left breast..
it's not visible..but I can feel it..it's not very large either..hm
it's kinda hard to describe..it's been there a while so idk if it's normal or not..

has anyone experienced something similar?
I'd like to go to the doctor..but they just took me off of medicare..great..lol

I hope it's nothing serious like cancer..or a tumor???
Breast cancer isn't very common in my family..


----Edit---
oh crap wrong section..I thought I was in health...
move..please?

=_=


since this is in the wrong section..has anyone ever done breast massage and seen results? (better looking breasts)
I think mine look a little bigger..but maybe I'm imagining things..lol
I read that cocoa butter is good to use because it helps with the circulation..and also stretch marks..

[addickshun]

i tried one of those massages before
i felt something and freaked out :x
if it's cancer then i should die ages ago.

[sushiwhore]

check it for a week and see if its there if so i think you should go to a doctor

[Jamila]

yeah, it's actually been there for a while..like more than a year but I just thought maybe it was supposed to be like that.. =_=;;
I'd gotten my boobs checked by a doctor when I was younger but it freaked me out
because he was a MALE old,,and didn't use gloves...
since then I haven't felt comfortable with doctors without clothes...

I felt like he was trying to 'feel on me' especially since he didn't use gloves!!! ewww..

[sushiwhore]

ask for a female doctor if you feeel uncomfy =)

yeah I had one..but she moved so now I have my brothers' doctor..who is male..

[sushiwhore]

ah i see. if you tell yoru parents or brother you might have help finding a female doctor. my mom has a doctor that does all her examinations etc and is a female o_o =/ i know how uncommfy it maybe >.< but if it is really bothering you a check up isn't a bad idea! =D

[LiLmizzpark]

it all depends where exactly you felt the "bump"
cuz if it was around the middle-ish part of your boobs LOL breasts whatever you wanna call them, then its normal. but otherwise, you should go to a doctor to get it checked. juuuust in case.

[chibi_cupcake]

you really should get it checked in case.. better safe than sorry =/
and lol try find a female doctor .. the male doctor sounds dodgy >_>

[addickshun]

^ male doctors are more risky T__T

[Namine]

don't worry if you are not over 18+ and all yet. that's what i've heard.

[t1ffiexp]

Where is the bump? If it is located somewhere in your underarm (armpit) area, I strongly suggest you go to the doctor as soon as possible.

I found a bump once too. I thought it was a big pimple at first (hey, you never know!) so I was waiting for it to go away. But when a week passed, it got even harder.. It was driving me crazy because my grandma had breast cancer before [she's alive and kicking now though : ) ] Since I was living away from home and was so busy with school, I couldn't come up with an easy with to tell my mom until almost 2 months later (Winter Break!). She brought me to the doctor and luckily it wasn't anything too serious. I just had to have surgery and have it removed If it makes any difference, I went to a regular doctor who specialized in surgeries so the operation was performed under local anesthetics, which is a LOT cheaper.

[Lelaye]

^Well, it's not really don't worry about it. Just that breasts are usually undeveloped until you're older so it could be some sort of growth tissue? I doubt it's anything, I have something like that too but if you're really concerned, go get a checkup.

[deportedkorean]

i'm pretty sure it's nothing if it's located directly below the nipple and since you're only 18 with no family members with breast cancer...

...but you can get it checked out at planned parenthood...and get a breast exam for free (even though you're 18, if you have low or no income, you can get it for free).

[Dream Candy]

i found a lump at the bottom of my right breast early last year (it was almost the size of a golfball well maybe half..) ..i got a lil freaked out.. but then my family dsnt have history of breast cancer (i'm 18 btw) .. i went to breast cancer clinic to get it checked.. did like 3 tests.. physical, ultrasound and a mammogram?? (they stuck the needle in to get sample >.>)

turns out it wasn't anything serious.. it was just clumping of tissues; which apparentally is common amongst asian + south african women my age. dont know why it happens (i think its coz of hormones) .. and it wont be cancerous in future either.

my options were; i could have it removed (coz it would feel uncomfortable soemthing there ><) .. or leave it there and go bak every 6 months to get it checked out..

in the end i got it removed.. wasn't a big operation - took 20mins (tho i had full annasthetics ) .. but yeah~

thats my case of breast lump.. i forgot wut its called ><""

but yeah. i recommend u to get it checked up asap!.. coz these things do grow O.o'

all the best

[chipmunkvoice]

^ was is Fibroandenoma ? coz my friend had that and she had it removed too
its common amongst teen / young adults and its not serious but on rare occasions it can become cancerous
to tell the difference between Fibroandenoma and cancer....
cancer is hard and does not move
fibroandenoma feels like a rubbery ball ............ or something like that

haha i remember reading it in Dolly or something. i get paranoid about things like these :x

it's actually not very far from the nipple..it's like..a few inches under the nipple to the right..I was thinking maybe it's just tissue?
and I'm 18 turning 19 next month..

I wouldn't say that I don't have to worry about breast cancer
because my neighbor's daughter had it and she's in elementary school..

[unbleached]

Usually, most bumps aren't cancerous, but if it's a small, fixed, hard bump, then I strongly recommend you go to a doctor.

If you can't get another doctor, just go to the doctor you have now, despite how comfortable he makes you feel. :/

The sooner you find out, the faster you could get it treated successful (if cancerous).

yeaah~ fibroadenoma (*=wat a name =.=)

yea basically its not hard.. the specialist called it a 'breast mouse'.. because if u touch it.. it sorta moves o_O;

maybe coz u've been doin breast massages.. n that increases ur hormones or sthn.. therefore causes these lumps~

Yeah, you can get breast cancer at any age, but if no one in your family has gotten it, then your chances are REALLy low. If the bump is below the nipple, I think it might just be collective tissue too. I got what Dream Candy mentioned above.. 6 months before I turned 19. Go to the doctor and get it checked out : )
