considering your age it's very unlikely to be a cancer..in puberty or young age bigger breast on one side is a common condition ..Don't worry ,you can wait and watch.
Next Steps
if size remains bigger get an ultrasound scan done,may be after a month.

Dear user, as i can see your age is 17 and you are facing one breast sudden enlargement. This could be because of your developmental age. Or the other reason is formation or sudden enlargement of a breast lump. Cancer in your age is less likely. So my advice is to do one good ultrasound of your breasts. And meet a breast surgeon near you or can take our online appointment. To know more you can check this https://www.breastdoctorpune.com/congenital-breast-anomalies-tuberous-breasts/
If it is due to developmental causes you need to wait for sometime, but if it is due to breast lump then treatment is required early. I hope that has created some light for your query 🙂
Next Steps
consultation with breast surgeon
ultrasound of both breasts and axilla

Hi..
Myself Dr Shivpal Saini, (Surgical Oncologist)
At the age of 17years, breast cancer is a little unlikely diagnosis.
The slight difference in breast size is normal and it is present in approximately half of women.
Breast size difference, tenderness and tightness is more prominent during menstruation.
If you feeling a discrete lump in breast still it may be fibroadenoma as it is more common in this age group.
Next Steps
You should undergo a dedicated ultrasound of bilateral breast.
which will help you to be sure that nothing is abnormal.
Further if you want any help you can consult connecting via audio or Video call with ultrasound report.
I hope this will help you.
Health Tips
A sudden onset lump in breast is a little worrisome.
