Hey Guys,

Im 23 years old and i do regular checks every night. I know its meant to be done a few days after your cycle but its just a habit.

My boss had found a lump....which alarmed me even more [seeing as im a natural stress head] so i went home and checked on the sides which were fine, at the front which was fine.

I layed on the bed and check under my breats [right on the bottom] and i felt like a mushy soft lump, it wasnt round or hard like a pea, it was longish....but when i check the bottom standing up its not as noticeable as when i check it laying down.

I did a ****** search on breast diagram and it showed me xactly whats inside of our breast and it seem to look like a gland/lobes or duct that i was feeling.

I dont have other symptoms such as leaking nipple, folded in nipple, dis colouring or dimples. Also notice more then 50% of lumps are found on the side/top of breast, and 11% on the bottom?

Im also a cple of weeks away from my cycle....

Th doctor did a quick check and said they seem fine.

Should i be alarmed?? Or are my thoughts correct?

Thanks guys.

hiya,
It could just be a swollen gland or something very simple (could you be pregnant).
Ask to see another docter for a more detailed examination. I went to 2 doctors befor i was diagnosed, If your unsatisfied with a doc's responce always questionne it!!
Anyway i hope it all works out.
Take care and il be thinking about you x x

If your still worried you can always request an ultrasound..most doctors will agree to do this if they know that it will help ease your mind..
best wishes to you,
let us know how your doing down the road..
hugs,
