Breast Cancer Awareness: What to Do When You Find a Lump?

Empowering Women Through Awareness, Early Detection, and Advanced Imaging

Every October, the world unites to raise awareness about breast cancer, but awareness must continue throughout the year. At Mirror Health – Women’s Imaging Center in Basaveshwar Nagar, Bangalore, we strongly believe that early diagnosis and preventive care are the most powerful tools in saving lives.

With modern advancements like Sonomammography and USG-guided biopsies, women today have access to accurate, safe, and non-invasive diagnostic methods — ensuring timely care and peace of mind.

If You Find a Lump — Don’t Panic, Take Action

Feeling a breast lump can be scary — but the first step is not to panic. While a lump might make you think of breast cancer, it’s important to know that not every lump is malignant. In many cases, it could be a benign fibroadenoma, a cyst, or a hormonal tissue change.

However, because early detection is key, it’s essential to consult a Women’s Imaging Specialist immediately.

Here’s what you should do:
  1. Schedule a Breast Examination: Visit a trusted imaging center like Mirror Health, specialising in women’s health and breast diagnostics.
  2. Get a Sonomammography (Breast Ultrasound): This is a safe, radiation-free test that helps differentiate between solid and fluid-filled lumps and detects even subtle abnormalities.
  3. Opt for a USG-Guided Breast Biopsy (if advised): A minimally invasive procedure that collects a small tissue sample for confirmation — ensuring accurate diagnosis without surgery.

At Mirror Health, these diagnostic steps are performed using advanced ultrasound systems by experienced radiologists for the most accurate and comfortable experience.

Why Early Detection Matters

When breast cancer is diagnosed early, it can be treated more effectively, with recovery rates of over 90%.

Early diagnosis helps by:
  • Detecting small, treatable tumors before symptoms appear.
  • Reducing the need for aggressive treatments.
  • Offering better survival and quality of life outcomes.

Our team at Mirror Health emphasizes preventive imaging and regular screenings so that women can stay one step ahead in protecting their health.
