Usually the lump is painless to touch and feel. Most times breast lumps are non threatening and therefore it is important for women to get them checked immediately.

It can be hard to differentiate between the two based on vague symptoms, the condition can become very complex. To understand which one of the cancer is developing, a pap smear is required to detect the difference between the two.
Gynecological Health
Having a healthy reproductive cycle is very important. While bleeding and discharge are a normal part of the menstrual cycle, there can still be complications in the gynecological health. If your menstrual cycle isn’t regular or there isn’t regular bleeding and more urinating, you might want to check other health conditions.
