Breast lump are commonly benign (non-cancerous), most of which are harmless and are sometimes caused by hormonal changes that occur in a woman’s life, this might be during menstrual cycle.

Types of benign breast lump are:

Fibroadenoma – a firm lump that moves around easily in the breast and is more common in younger women
Breast cyst – are smooth, firm fluid-filled lumps mostly seen in women aged 30 to 60
Breast abscess – it’s a painful collection of pus that forms under the skin of the breast, it can be as a result of a bacterial infection
