is the breast usually very tender to touch in the area where the lump is located?
The breast just posterior to the nipple there is a lump and it is very tender to the touch.
The lumps and tenderness are in both breasts bu largert in left. I am 31 years old and I have a five year old and a two year old, I breast fed both children for 8 months to a year. I also have a five year IUD, which was implanted in 2006.
Stephanie, usually breast cancer lumps are painless. And especially if you find lumps in both breasts, they're probably from another cause; it's very, very rare to find cancer in both breasts simultaneously. You may have fibrocystic breasts, which can be a chronic condition that's sometimes painful. Or, if the lumps/pain come and go with your period, it could be hormonal. Probably a good idea to see the doctor, find out what they are and if there's anything you can do to relieve your discomfort. Good luck - PJH
