Although the doctor's tests didn't indicate any issues, it's essential to monitor your wife's breast pain and watch for any changes or additional symptoms, such as lumpiness, nipple discharge, or skin changes, and consider a follow-up appointment in a few weeks to reassess the situation, meanwhile, encourage your wife to perform regular breast self-exams and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Question

I'm a 27-year-old guy and I've had this lump inside my left chest for over two years now. It's pretty weird because I can feel it when I touch it, and it hurts then, but otherwise, there's no pain. The size hasn't changed, and there aren't any other symptoms. I'm not on any medication, but I'm really worried it might be a tumor. Any idea what this could be?

Question

I found this hard lump below my right breast, kind of on my ribs towards the side. It hurts when I press on it. Should I be worried about this? Could it be something serious?

Question

I'm really curious if there's a single test that can detect all types of cancer in the body. It would be amazing if something like that exists, but is it possible? How reliable would it be, and could it miss any forms of cancer?
