Please I am worried about a small lump in my breast. It's in the lower part. I started noticing it around January this year.
It is not painful when I touch it but it's there. Please What can I use to make it go away

Hello... The way Nigerians live a non-chalant life still baffles me. You've been noticing a lump on your breast since January and you didn't mention that you've visited at least a doctor. You were expecting the lump to go on its own, right? Despite the education and awareness on lumps on breast being shared to you females every time, you still think it's not yet time for serious medical attention.

Well... My advice is that you should see a doctor any moment from now in case you haven't. Then you can come back here for solution after the diagnosis.


Nothing Beats Sound Health!

Good response, but remember there's an idiot in this health section that's advertising to them that breast lump is not a disease and that stopping the use of bras can cure it.
Nigeria is a strange place.

There's this general wrong belief among Nigerians that a painful lump is cancerous, while a painless one is non-cancerous.

That's very very wrong, and has misled a lot of people into not seeking for intervention early.

Breast cancer is NOT painful except at the advanced stage when it has already involved the skin.
Breast lumps that are painful are usually not cancerous(eg breast abscess, infected or tensed cyst)
Do not be misled by the absence of pain, as that is normal for cancerous lumps.
Seek early medical attention to ascertain the nature of the lump

Yes, I laughed when I read it on this section some time ago. People can mislead many without weighing up the consequences, and trust most nigerians, they buy into that idea without making their own findings. Most people joke with their health. When you don't seek early medical attention, you give room for possible further complications which might be more difficult to treat. Early intervention is an essential part of a successful treatment.

Am not castigating, I was only joking.
