The term triple-negative breast cancer means that the cancer cells do not have estrogen or progesterone receptors and does not make too much of the protein called HER2. ( therefore the cells test "negative" on all 3 tests.)

Triple-negative breast cancer has less treatment options available than other types of invasive breast cancer. The reason being the cancer cells do not have enough estrogen or progesterone receptors or HER2 protein for hormone therapy or targeted drugs to work.

Treatment options are chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery mainly. But consulting clinician on time and starting the treatment is important. Regular follow up with doctor with lifestyle modifications and counselling will help. Consult an oncologist.

Female | 19

The painful breast mass you're experiencing could be due to various conditions, such as fibroadenomas or breast cysts, but it’s important to take note of it. However, if the lump has been present for two years and is now growing and becoming more painful, it's crucial to rule out more serious conditions like breast cancer. Since I can’t examine you in person, I strongly recommend seeking medical attention immediately, especially given these changes. The earlier treatment begins, the better the potential outcome.

5days delay period,lump in right breast,and mosquito bite type thing on my right breast

Female | 20

A 5-day delay in your period can sometimes happen due to various reasons, like stress or hormonal changes. Regarding the lump in your right breast, it's quite common for women to notice lumps, which could be due to hormonal fluctuations or benign conditions like cysts. As for the "mosquito bite type thing," it could be a skin irritation or a bug bite. First, try not to worry too much, but it's important to get these things checked out by a gynecologist. I'd recommend scheduling an appointment with your doctor to have a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, try to stay calm and take care of yourself.

I am a girl and my age is 22. I have pain in my left nipple.

Female | 22

A throbbing or stabbing sensation in the chest can be triggered at the age of 22 by a variety of issues, such as hormonal transformations, trauma, disease, or particular drugs. Hormonal shifts around the menstrual cycle can cause one or both nipples to hurt. If you are experiencing pain along with other symptoms like redness, swelling, or discharge, see a healthcare professional immediately.

25 year old female ,found lump in left breast that is not painful and movable

Female | 25

It's understandable to be concerned about a lump in your breast. Many such lumps can be benign, often resulting from hormonal changes, cysts, or fibrous tissue. The fact that it is movable and not painful is generally a positive sign. However, it’s essential to have it evaluated by a oncologist. He will perform a thorough examination and may recommend an ultrasound or other imaging tests for clarity.

I have breast from 3-4 days

Female | 23

Breast pain could be due to hormonal changes, like your menstrual cycle, causing tenderness. Sometimes it's just a bit of inflammation or muscle strain. In fact, even wearing a poorly fitting bra can lead to discomfort. Here's what you can do: try wearing a supportive bra, apply a warm compress, and maybe take some over-the-counter pain relief if needed. However, if the pain persists or you notice any unusual lumps, it's best to see a gynecologist for a proper evaluation.

Female | 42

The fine needle aspiration report indicates a possibility of either a cellular fibroadenoma or intraductal carcinoma. These conditions can present as breast lumps and are usually benign or less concerning. It is normal to feel anxious, but the next step is important for clarity. An excisional biopsy is advisable to help differentiate between these two possibilities accurately. I encourage you to consult your oncologist for a thorough discussion and to explore any additional tests or imaging.

I am a 25 years old male, So doctor i laying down i last week and as i was laying down i was rubbing my chest and felt something so let me describe properly, I have an inverted nipple my left one and it has been since birth ( just want to add that before describing what i felt) So i felt this tiny rubbry ball like thing in that left inverted nipple, it's very small, The crazy thing is that I'm 1000% sure it has been there for years i just never paid attention to it, It went to a pharmacy to ask about it and the asked, if i was feeling any pain or noticed anything unusual around that area or armpit, i said no and the said I'm perfectly alright, And yes feel no pain, no swelling, no colour change, nothing, Also i have small breast cause I'm a bit chubby, please what's your analysis

Male | 25

What you are sensing in your left inverted nipple is possibly a harmless cyst or a benign lump. Because you've had it for years without any changes or symptoms like pain, swelling, or color changes, it seems to be nothing serious. Yet, it always is a good idea to have it checked out by an oncologist to make sure you are okay.

I'm 23 yr old. I've been experiencing pain and burning inflammation sensations under my left breast right below the nipple for 2 days now. there's no symption visible apart from swelling but i can feel some hard cyst like structure below the nipple. Please help!

Female | 23

You might have mastitis, a condition causing breast pain, swelling, and inflammation. That hard cyst-like lump could be an abscess - a pocket of infection. Mastitis happens when milk ducts get blocked, bacteria infect the area, or engorgement occurs. Applying warm compresses and gently massaging the spot might relieve discomfort. However, if symptoms don't improve or worsen, it's wise to see a dermatologist for proper evaluation and potential treatment.

Breast discomfort can stem from various factors, such as hormonal fluctuations, muscle strain, or cysts. It’s good to note that absence of discharge is often reassuring. However, each symptom is unique, and understanding your body is important. Keeping a log of your sensations, activity, and cycle can be helpful. Meanwhile, wearing a supportive bra and managing stress can provide relief. For persistent pain or if you have any concerns, seeking advice from a gynecologist is a wise choice. They can offer personalized insights and necessary examinations to ensure everything is okay.

Female | 27

It looks like the problem is the galactocele located in your left breast. This is a lump that occurs naturally when the breast milk forms a lump. It can be after childbirth or while nursing and is not harmful. The symptoms are a painless lump and milky fluid when squeezed. Usually, treatment isn't needed, but if big, it can be removed. Keep an eye on it and let an oncologist know.
