Im 13 do I have breast cancer?!


Question: Im 13 do I have breast cancer.?
I have a lump in my left one. It hurts a little like a bruise. I'm really scared, breast cancer doesn't run in my family. I heard it shouldn't be breast cancer because it feels like a bruise, and supposaly breast cancer doesn't hurt. Can someone please help me :(Health Question & Answer


Answers:
no, the symptoms you describe are not breast cancer & it would be exceedingly rare for a 13 y/o to have breast cancerHealth Question & Answer

no! you're being a hypochondriac, breast cancer is painless and if it FEELS like a bruise it probably IS a bruise. also breast cancer doesn't start that early, when you are a bit older and you get a lump you should start to worry, but not at your age.
you should see a doctor just to see what it is but it probably is just a bruise or a topical skin infection/inflamation(swelling) but its probably nothing to worry about
Good Luck :)Health Question & Answer

I remember when I was 12, my right nipple puffed up a LOT and it HURT when things even touched it. Then months later, my left one did, too. Later on though, my right nipple got softer and number and it eventually returned to normal, and the same thing with my left.

So in simple words, no, you *shouldn't* have breast cancer... I HOPE you don't =o!Health Question & Answer

To the one who answered get a mammogram, they will not do that on a 13 year old.

it could be a swollen lymph node. Or, have you gotten your period yet.? Breasts get swollen and tender or painful right before your period. Either way it won't hurt to ask your Dr or tell your mom. You can't do this alone. Ask a trusted adult. Don't wait.Health Question & Answer

Don't worry! What you're feeling is your breasts growing. They'll hurt for a little while during puberty. I was scared by the same thing when i was your age, and went to the doctor, and the doctor thought it was funny that i was so worried! (he was kind of mean, haha)Health Question & Answer

I had the same problems when I was your age & did go to the Dr. to check it. Tell your parents but right now stop all caffeine that means NO chocalate. & look up caffeine to see what else it is in cause soda you wouldn't expect might have it...this is most like what the problem is.Health Question & Answer

i highly doubt it. but you should always get everything checked. also go talk to a parent and express your concerns.

I am sure you are fine, my dear ;-)
