Breast Cancer?

542>I'm 16, and about 2 years ago, I had a really hard hit on my right breast. Since then, it seems like it hasn't been growing. My left breast seems to be fine and growing, but not the right one. In addition, just this past month, I noticed a lump in the right breast [the one I bumped] I figured that it was probably because of when I bumped it. But today, it has started to hurt! And its the lump that is hurting!





So is this cancer, and if not, is this anything to be worried about?





thanks

One, you are to young to develop one and cancers don't arise from trauma.


Two, breast cancer don't produce pain unless they are to big already


Normal breast are usually not of the same size. one is usually smaller than the other. sometimes it depends on the handedness of the person. meaning right handed persons usually have a larger right breast than the left and vise versa but is not always the case.


breast lumps may occur when a woman is about to have menses and is mainly due to hormonal changes in the body. this will subside or disappear after a few months or even a week after menses.


Breast pain can be due to 1)trauma, 2) Stress-induced, 3) excessive coffee intake, 4) High cholesterol intake.


and please don't do a mammogram because it will be useless for your age. Mammograms are not done for women less than 40 years of age and when a palpable lump is already there, because it may cause the lump to rupture if you compress it in mammogram.


Better Consult your Doctor/Surgeon to find out the real cause of your problem.

Reply:you need to get a mammogram or ultrasound to be sure. make the appt. dont delay.
Reply:I don't think what your experiencing today is because of the injury two years ago but that doesn't mean it isn't either. You body is still in the development stage so it could be a number of things. It could possibly be a cyst which is common.


Having breast cancer at 16 is unlikely. You should tell your mother/ father and make an doctor appt. what ever it is you do need to have it looked at.


While you are there ask the doctor or nurse to give you information on what and how Breast cancer starts.





It is important today all young women have an understanding of it.Not just how to check yourself but about Breast cancer.





Sadly to say younger women as young as 18 are getting it.





You will be fine but do checked it out. best to you.
