This Is Sorta Embarrassing To Talk About But,I Think I Got Breast Cancer.One My Breast Is Bigger Then The Other And Its Red A Lot Plus Theres Bumps On It Sometimes..
It's extremely rare for someone in their teens or even twenties to have breast cancer - it's a disease largely associated with ageing, and 80% of the people diagnosed with it are over 50.
If you are still growing and developing this is probably hormonal; also many women have naturally lumpy breasts, and most breast lumps are not cancerous.
Still, none of this will stop you worrying, so you have to see your doctor. Don't be embarrassed, s/he will have heard this question many times and will take you seriously.
What you have at the moment is just a lump in the breast.Thats why your breast affected is bigger than the normal breast. The fact that your bigger breast is red and theres a lot of pus coming out mean that you are suffering from breast abscess.
You need to consult a Surgeon who will have to drain the abscess by doing a minor operation under General Anaesthesia. At operation, the Surgeon will remove all the pus and he/she will also cut out some tissues to be sent for detail microscopic examination.Only then you will know whether there is cancer in your breast.
One can never be sure of cancer before such an examination.
Nope, that's not necessarily breast cancer, but you should consider seeing a doctor to find out what it is and if it can be treated. It's better to be safe than sorry!
Also, don't be embarrassed about your body--especially something like this that you have no control over. Everyone has their own set of problems. I bet that if people were more open about their imperfections and could just accept themselves, this world would be a much happier place. People put a lot of stress on themselves by worrying about their looks, when really they should be concerned about their health--physical, mental, and emotional.
I hope it's nothing serious, it could just be that you are in a state of growth and the other breast may catch up in time. The only way to be sure is to see a doctor, though.
Usually one breast is normally bigger then the other. its the same with everything. one hand is bigger then the other and one foot is bigger then the other. my left breast is bigger the my right and its normal.
sometimes women get what is called benign breast lumps. they are harmless. also your breast can feel different depending on your menstrual cycle. You should consult with your doctor or get a mammogram.
There is nothing embarrassing about being worried about your health and no question is stupid.
You can not be diagnosed over the internet. You must see your gyn. Now! It's probably nothing, but it could be something, and if you can save your own life by seeing a doctor, or going to the health department's clinic, why not go? Put your mind at ease, child.
we all worry and get embarrassed see your GP and you will feel better by seeing him when we get older our hormones change and our breasts start having changes this ranges from teen hood to later in years ?so get checked out and you will be okay if you see about it now take care

That doesn't Necessarily mean you have Breast Cancer!
See your Dr. for a referral to a breast specialist or for some tests.

Ask your Doc not complete strangers who have no experience or examined you.
Just go and get your GP to reassure you!
