Finding a breast lump can be a source of anxiety, but it’s important to know that not all breast lumps are cancerous. Many breast lumps are benign (non-cancerous) and can be caused by a variety of factors such as hormonal changes, cysts, or fibroadenomas.

One of the best tools for diagnosing breast lumps and determining their nature is an ultrasound scan, which offers a non-invasive, radiation-free method to get a clear picture of what’s happening inside the breast tissue.
