Below you will find a list of discussions in the Breast Related Concerns forum at the Live Your Optimal Life to Heal Your Ailments Forum. The most common medical concerns about a woman's breast are tumours, cysts, lumps, soreness (mastitis) and cancer. Breast lump detection, with breast cancer likely being the greatest health concern. While most breast lumps are harmless (benign), every breast lump should be evaluated by a doctor to exclude or establish a diagnosis of cancer. When detected early, breast cancer has a high cure rate, so the most important strategy in improving survival is breast cancer screening of women with regular mammograms. Other facets related to breasts include cosmetic surgeries pertaining to breast reduction or breast augmentation.
