Medical experts note that 80 to 90 percent of breast lumps are non-cancerous benign growths, advising women not to panic upon discovery.

Lumps can stem from various harmless conditions including fibroadenomas, fluid-filled breast cysts, hormonal fluctuations during menstrual cycles, or mastitis infections.
