Breast diseases make up a number of conditions. The most common symptoms are a breast mass, breast pain, and nipple discharge.[1]
A majority of breast diseases are noncancerous.[2] Although breast disease may be benign, or non-life threatening there remains an associated risk with potentially a higher risk of developing breast cancer later on.[3]
