go to your general practitioner. he/she should be able to assess the problem, and if you need to go to a specialist, they'll refer you. it could just be benign cysts, or just some swelling as your breasts grow. but it could also be something worse. anytime you notice lumps you should have a doctor evaluate them asap, just to be safe.
don't freak out though, you're young, its probably nothing. but it will give you peace of mind to have a doctor tell you that to your face.

Try not to panic yourself to much coz stress can make the lumps worse. You wouldn't just have a gynecologist. You would have to go to your local hospital to see a gynecologist. I am unsure how old you are but the average age a girl is when their period starts is 13 to 14 years of age. If I was you I would go to see your doctor or if you don't feel comfortable seeing your doctor there should be a nurse available to see at the surgery. The fact that your period has not started and having lumps in your breast are not necessarily connected. I do recommend that you go and seek medical advice especially if the lumps in your breast are very painful. I hope that helps.

You don't have to have experienced menarche (the onset of menstruation) in order to go see a gynecologist. I'd suggest telling your mom that there's something about your breasts that's concerning you, so that you can work together to find yourself a gyno. I'd bet that the lumps you're feeling are just something called fibrocystic lumps. These are absolutely nothing to worry about, but they can cause pain like you're describing. It would be to your benefit to have these checked out, if for no other reason than to put your mind at ease.

You need to go to a doctor to find out the cause of your lumps so you can stop worrying. I had a biopsy done on one my breast a few years back and it turned out to be a cyst. Your health insurance provider should have a directory so you can find a gynecologist in your area. If you don't have insurance talk to your school nurse or go to a health clinic. They should be able to point you in the right direction. Play it safe and go to the doctor.

We all have in our breast ganglion. Those ganglion feels like little marbles and can be sensitive when our period is getting closer. If you have concerns you do not need a gynecologist...a simple doctor or a nurse can help you educate you on the matter.

Don't panic. A lot of young girls get lumps in their breast when they are going into the menstral phase of life. It's nothing to really worry about, most likely due to changing hormones. If you're that worried, go to your regular doctor and they will help you. A gyno is not the only one who knows about breasts.

I would ask your mom to make you an appointment and see what the doctor has to say about that. I dont think you have much to worry about. Every girl is different and sometimes it just takes a while for it to happen.

go to your regular doctor; they'll be able to get you to a gynecologist, probably, or diagnos it themselves.
and i dont think that the first visit to the gynecologist is syncronised with the first period, cause iv had my period for a year and a half and my mom hasnt talked of going. talk to your mom, she can help too.

Tell your Mom immediately. She can get you to the doctor and he/she can schedule a mammogram. BTW- they do not hurt at all. Take care of your body. Just to let you know don't think the worst it could be nothing major but, by all means go to the dr and listen to what he/she has to say.

That is just the way that breasts grow. It is perfectly normal for those lumps to be there. They for quite a while but it is nothing to worry about. It just means that you are developing.
