An outdated term for the general lumpiness that is a normal feature of some women’s breasts. Cyclical changes in hormone levels often lead to lumpiness, which is more obvious before a menstrual period. Lumpy breasts do not increase the risk of developing breast cancer. However, a new solitary, discrete breast lump should be assessed by a doctor to rule out the possibility of breast cancer.
