Medical Description |
The breast
After a woman has a baby, glands
in the breast produce and release milk.
These milk-producing glands
are called lobules. The tubes that connect them to the nipple are called
ducts.
Besides lobules and ducts,
the breast is also made up of fatty, connective and lymphatic tissue.
A lump in your breast is not
necessarily cancer. A variety of benign conditions can also cause a lump
in your breast.
