Hello there,
With your history it is highly likely that the lump is benign. It can be a lipoma or a fibroadenoma both of which are benign conditions. Once you get back to your country a mammogram should be done to see the extent of the lump. If you do not have a genetic history i.e your mother, grandmothers, aunts have not been affected by any breast related illnesses you can let it remain as it is and no surgery is required except vigilance on any change in size of the lump.

Evening primrose oil may help in reducing pain and other symptoms of the breast lump related to your cycles.

Please get back to me with any further queries,
I will be glad to answer them.
