Benign breast problems are problems in the breast that are not cancer. They can go away on their own or are easily treated. The most common benign breast problems are cysts, benign masses, and infections.
You can get benign breast problems at any time, regardless if you've had breast cancer or not. Many benign breast problems are related to hormones and found in premenopausal women. Staying proactive with screening protocols is important for your overall breast health.
