Sometimes the fat that is stored in your breasts can feel like lumps. If you are scared you should go and get a mammogram. Have your doctor look at you just to make sure you're fine. If it is breast cancer you want to find it early. You don't want it to progress so much that you lose your breasts or lose your life all together.
Good Luck!

First you need to ask yourself if these "lumps" have been noticable before, or are they new? Secondly, are they in the same place in both breasts? Rarely would you have "matching" lumps indicating cancer. What about family history? Does breast cancer occur among the women in your family? Try not to automatically think the worst, but if it bothers you, by all means go to the doctor and have it checked. No need to worry when you don't have to. Good luck to you.

You probably don't have breast cancer. Sometimes before your period you can get lumps, that usually go away after your monthly cycle. A lot of it depends on how old you are, does breast cancer run in your family, are they growing and getting worse, ??? You should still be seen by a medical professional so they can determine what it is, and you can put your mind to rest. Good luck girl.

Are you a teen? It is normal for teens to have slightly lumpy breasts. A good rule of thumb is that if something is on both sides of the body it is probably supposed to be there.
If the lumps feel like hard peas or something like that, then you might want to go to the doctor, but if your in your teens and your breasts are a bit lumpy feeling its probably nothing to worry about.

Definitely have this checked by a doctor but most likely it's just your hormones. Lots of females have lumps in their breasts. It's your job to keep an eye on these. If they get larger or feel different please see a doctor. Why take a chance?

If you are younger like teenager to late twenties it could be normal, but if your a bit older it could be a more dangerous sign. But to be on the safe side you should get it checked by a doctor. (Though small lumps are somtimes normal in growing breasts).

as long as the lumps are pretty much in the middle and pretty far under the surface, yes, this is normal. that's the tissue and ducts that create milk if/when you get pregnant. if you're worried, learn how to perform a breast self exam, and if you notice any changes or abnormalities after a period of time, talk to your doctor.

It might be a harmless lump of tissue (caused by development), but it could also be breast cancer. See your doctor asap.
