What does a Breast Cancer lump feel like? How to Identify Them with Dr Tasha
What does a lump in your breast feel like and how do you check for lumps?
In today's video I am discussing self-examination, and explaining what a lump actually feels like, so you know what to look for when you are examining yourself.
Early detection through self-examination plays a crucial role in improving survival rates. Self-examination involves carefully palpating the breasts to detect any unusual lumps, changes in texture, or skin abnormalities.
Regular self-exams empower you to become familiar with their breast tissue, enabling them to recognize deviations from the norm promptly.
While self-exams are not a substitute for professional screenings, they serve as a valuable proactive measure, facilitating early detection and timely medical intervention.

Hi, I'm Dr Tasha
I’m a Doctor, Breast Cancer Surgeon, and Medical Educator. After 20 years of helping people understand and overcome breast health problems, I’ve seen firsthand the fear, frustration, and stress that my patients go through.
As a breast specialist with over a decade’s worth of experience, I understand finding the right information, processing a diagnosis, understanding treatment, and getting accurate, practical advice as you ride the rollercoaster of emotions can be really tough.
But I’m here to help.
The internet can be a wonderful source of information but when it comes to breast health there’s a lot of inaccurate information out there. Listening to the wrong advice could cause you unnecessary worry or even put your health at risk.
So I wanted to create an accessible hub where you could find useful, accurate, and reliable information from a trusted source - a Breast Health Doctor - all in one place.
That’s exactly what you’ll find here on my KZread Channel.

Hello doc, what is the right time to do breast self examination after periods
I had a preventative bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction last Sept, unfortunately they found a small cancer tumour in one side, few weeks ago I noticed a small lump and I went to my surgeon to check it, he advised to do ultrasound, I did the ultrasounds and biopsy and it was good the biopsy results came back as a fat necrosis! How often you advice to do ultrasound to check in my case? Thank you very much Dr Tasha for your useful videos which help us a lot, really appreciate it 🙏🏻
I have a pimple on my right breast lower portion It looks like a black head but I'm not sure wat I can do
Hello doctor Tasha🖐🏻..I really want to consult to you that I had a pinpointed small flat red spot on my left breast about a month and a half ago.. It's neither bumpy nor painful, it's not a rash and is not itchy..all I mean to say is I didn't have any particular problem with it..a week ago there was redness in a very small pinpointed area below that spot and within three days that disappeared. Then yesterday Dr. Tasha I noticed a similar small red spot in another place on the same breast..and now I'm really worried that what it is.. I'm really scared.. please please do reply me Dr. Tasha! I'll wait for your reply. Please do reply me
I found a lump very close to my areola just left of my nipple. It’s 1.5 cm (according to the ultrasound), hypoechoic, lobular, and vascular. I also have thickened (not swollen) axillary lymph nodes on both sides. I’m terrified - had the lump biopsied this week and have to go back on Monday to do the lymph node biopsies since the lidocaine didn’t work so well. I felt too sick to continue.

I'm 68 and had a lumpectomy last December. Ever since the surgery, I find lumps again and again. Just paranoid, I guess. 😢😮

That just means inflammation, have you tried natural remedies for inflammation in the body? There are millions of factors in your life that are certainly causing you inflammation. Once you find ways to reduce inflammation you can see if the issue is really genetic, viral, bacterial, lymphatic, endocrine, etc. you must master your body’s metabolism. Sugar is toxic, allergens can be in your detergent and soaps. Try to target irritants in your life and diet but mostly go to an expert. Don’t give up on yourself and the power of your mind. ❤
