Most breast lumps are not cancer — common causes include cysts and benign changes — but every new breast lump should be checked promptly for peace of mind and early diagnosis.

Most causes are not serious, but because some need prompt attention it's worth getting persistent or worrying symptoms checked. A private GP can assess you the same day (from £90), examine you and arrange any tests.

When to Seek Help

Arrange prompt assessment for any new breast lump, skin or nipple changes, or nipple discharge. Otherwise, see a clinician for symptoms that are new, persistent (beyond a week or two), recurring or affecting daily life.

As a rule, seek urgent care for severe, sudden or rapidly worsening symptoms, and arrange a routine review for milder, longer-standing symptoms.

How It's Assessed

A clinician examines you and arranges the right imaging (ultrasound and/or mammogram) and breast-clinic referral, often under a rapid pathway.

Your clinician explains what's likely, what (if anything) needs further investigation, and the next steps — with onward specialist referral arranged where needed.
