Question. I am an 18-year-old woman. Since two-three months I have noticed a lump in my right breast. Its size has also increased considerably since. My doctor says this is normal at my age. However, I do know that breast cancer can occur at my age too. I have had an abortion. Could the lump be a result of that? Please guide me.

Answer. A breast lump can occur after an abortion. You are right to be concerned. See a gynaecologist for a detailed examination.
