Feeling of small lump in left breast.

I am not sure if it's actually a lump or something else, but my left breast is slightly bigger in comparison with my right one. And sometimes it does pain a bit usually before my periods starting date.

I don't have any kind of external lumps or the symptoms of cancer.

What could this be?

It may be a cyst, but it's possible that it's a tumour. There's really no way of knowing unless you get a mammogram or an ultrasound.

Good for you for watching for changes. Don't hesitate to get your lump examined by your Doctor. Always good to nip things in the bud.

Cheers, June S.

I agree with the ladies here. It's not unusual to have one breast slightly bigger than another. It could be a cyst but I would get a mammogram or at minimum see your obgyn. They have a knack for feeling things that may be unusual. Best !

Hi, I found a small lump in one of my breasts about 10 years ago. My GP said she thought it was a cyst but I had to go to hospital for a mammogram to be sure, but it was just a cyst which they drained staight away.
