Dear Khar Nabi,

Thank you for sharing your concern. We understand that knowing about a lump can feel scary, but please know that you’re not alone and that early action is the best step you can take. 

🔍 Here’s what you should do next:

  1. Visit a gynaecologist or breast specialist for a clinical breast examination as soon as possible.

  2. The doctor may advise some basic tests, like:

    • Breast Ultrasound or Mammogram (depending on your age and the nature of the lump)

    • FNAC or Biopsy (only if needed, to understand the nature of the lump)

💡 Important to know:

Most breast lumps turn out to be non-cancerous (benign), like cysts or fibroadenomas, especially in young women, but only a doctor can confirm that safely.
