I noticed a hard lump on my right breast that doesn't hurt but seems to be getting bigger. Is there any way to treat this without surgery? What could be causing it?

A hard lump in the breast that isn't painful and seems to be growing warrants a medical evaluation. While some breast lumps, like fibroadenomas or cysts, can be treated without surgery, others, including those related to breast cancer, may require more invasive procedures. Consulting a doctor or healthcare provider is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment recommendations
