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]
