About this condition
Breast conditions include lumps, pain, changes in size or shape, and skin or nipple changes. Many breast changes turn out not to be serious, but any new lump or change should be checked so the cause can be identified early. Assessment may include an examination and, where needed, imaging such as ultrasound. A doctor will explain whether monitoring, further tests, or a surgical opinion is appropriate for your situation.
