Common Questions and Answers about Breast abscess on mammogram

abscess

Avatar n tn left breast burning was diagnosed with mastitus had mammogram & sonogram took antibiotic still in pain what could this be?
Avatar f tn I had an abscess in my right breast 10 years ago and it left a little lump after it healed. Two weeks ago I developed an abscess in the same spot. My GP recommended a week of antibiotics (Augmentin) and it started to drain on its own two days back. I feel a thickened area which hasn't gone down. Should I be worried? The abscess continues to drain slowly and I have covered it with sterilized gauze. Please help.
Avatar f tn How are you? It's good that you are having regular mammogram and check-ups. Ultrasound has excellent contrast resolution and quickly determines if a suspicious area is in fact a cyst or an increased density of solid tissue. On the other hand, lymph nodes may become enlarged or swollen any time they produce additional white blood cells to ward off an infection. These infections are often benign and may swell from the formation of an abscess in the nodes or if they contain cancer cells.
Avatar n tn Breast lump. Found a small lump on areola. It is fixed, hard and irregular in shape. It is on the surface of the areola. Anyone have something like this? Waht is it?
Avatar n tn I have been reading the posts here for clues to what I may have but feel I am now more confused than ever. What is a breast papilloma? I have a lump on my left breast about an inch above my aereola. The surface of it is visible as it is kind of shiny. It started out small and is very slowly getting larger and more noticeable. It is beginning to look like I am getting more of the small ones on the same breast.
Avatar m tn ok thankyou
Avatar n tn I recently found a large breast lump which after a mammogram and ultrasound was determined to be a breast abscess. It was asprirated, I was treated with antibotics. I still have breast pain after 4 weeks. I had another ultrasound which indicates 2 cyst in the same area. The cysts are not perfectly round. Should I have a biopsy?
Avatar f tn Can someone answer this question: How do you know you have an abscess? Do you do self-check or use the mammogram results? JoJo- My Thyroid test came back negative so I've continued to avoid soy products as much as I can which is very difficult since almost everything has soy including vitamins. There are a few multi-vitamins that do not have soy but you have to search hard. Also, Thanks for starting this forum! To All - I've continued the American Heart ***.
Avatar f tn Do I have reason to believe this is breast cancer?????????????
1737879 tn?1386202314 I am not sure if they are confusing my ovarian cancer with my breast issue. I am going for another mammogram on 12/12 and maybe a ultrasound that same day. I just really have no idea what the report means. as always thank you for your time and response.
Avatar f tn She told me to come back in if I develop an abscess that needs lancing but that she recommends no needles or knives unless absolutely necessary. Since then I have developed two abscess pockets on the skin that are draining bloody fluid through the needle biopsy hole.
Avatar f tn I woke up this morning and my right breast was sore to the touch. I didn't think anything about it. Now, it is early evening and it still hurts to the touch and there is a small lump. This morning it felt like my nipple was sore but now it is definately the bump that is sore. It is located about 1/4" down from my nipple. I am 46 years old. Breast cancer does not run on my father's side of the family.
Avatar f tn I recently had a bloody discharge from my left nipple, this was a large amount, bleed through my bra onto my shirt. I went to a Breast Cancer doctor, had a mammogram and ultrasound, showed nothing except dense tissue in left breast. They took a smear of the discharge, results came back with benign atypical cells, what does that mean? I had an MRI done on friday, still waiting on results.
Avatar m tn It was indeed just a prescription change. Picked up the antibiotics eight days ago and they haven't done squat to the infection. It's just as bad as it was before the first course of antibiotics. Had mammo and ultrasound yesterday and the attending dr there says The US shows i have 'lots of cysts' but no abscess (thank goodness). Mammogram wasn't evaluated yet. Waiting on dr to call me or I'll just have to wait till my appointment on the 1st.
1373408 tn?1278573780 I'd get a mammogram and an ultra sound. My breast didn't get hard but the right breast was "heavier feeling" and not pillowy and soft as the left one. I had breast pain. I kept pulling at my bra on my right breast. I had cancer. You couldn't see it on a mammogram, you couldn't feel it other than what I've just described. Your symptoms are different than mine but if you are worried get an ultrasound too. If he didn't put that on the prescription, ask him to.
967168 tn?1477584489 Hi I've had some medical things going on lately and had a mammogram done recently just to be safe. Some background info - I'm a 42 yr old female; my mother had breast cancer at age 38 which recurred at age 45; and spread to Ovarian, Uterine & Lung cancer and she finally passed away at age 52. She had 5 sisters; all but 1 sister has had breast cancer - 3 still living that I know of.
Avatar f tn I have a strong history in my family of breast cancer and other cancers. A few weeks ago I had an episode with my right breast. It became inflamed with these red blotches and it felt like it was on fire. This lasted several days. I didn't do anything to the breast as I was afraid it may be a reaction to something. Since then I have had these intermittent burning sensations in the right breast only, that are quite painful.
Avatar f tn m 25 years old and had a 2/3 mammograms and a few ultrasounds done as part of of a follow-up checkup after treatment for breast abscess(the entire process started in 2008). After seeing the recent mammogram, my doctor advised me to have a biopsy done via mammogram localisation to find out whether the 2 microcalfications clusters are benign or malignant. the date has been fixed for me to go under GA for the biopsy.
Avatar f tn I recently had a mammogram and microcalcifications were found scattered on both breasts with one small cluster (4-5). I stopped breastfeeding 2 months ago after nursing for 2 years. I also suffered mastitis twice and had several clogged milk ducts. I am going for a biopsy on both breasts next week and am of course worried. I have done a lot of research and am hoping that it is just related to my breastfeeding/issues. Thanks for your input.
Avatar f tn I noticed a lump in the shower this past Saturday. It was about th size of a lima bean and definately had not been there for long. When I got out of the shower and looked in the mirror I noticed a round dime sizes red blotch over the same area. It does not itch ans does not look like a bug bite. It is slightly raised and a rather bright red. The blotch is not tender to the touch at all but when pressure is applied, it hurts below the blotch (deeper into my breast).
Avatar f tn Hi, It's rather difficult for you or any of us to recognize the difference between a benign lump and something more serious without examination . The symptoms of breast boils are red and inflamed skin along with a swelling in the breast.Since you are diabetic,there is a strong possibility that the lump under your breast could be a boil or an abscess which can appear in your breast as well as on any other part of your body.
Avatar f tn Hello Everyone, I hope someone can help me understand the results of my Breast MRI. Two weeks ago I had a MRI. I thought I had a lump growing in my right breast. I was recently put on HRT. The MRI showed nothing suspicious in that breast, just the usual fibros and lots of cysts. But, it did show what was described as a cluster of star dust in in a starburst pattern in the left breast. What could this be if calcifications do not show up on a MRI? Should I be concerned or is a false positive?
Avatar m tn Because of that family history, I chose to get my first baseline mammogram at age 35, and have gotten 2 since then. They have been normal, but on my recent mammogram report, it was noted that I have dense heterogenous breasts. After researching it a bit, I found that it is not necessarily uncommon for women under 50 to have dense heterogenous breasts, but it was suggested that women with average to high risk for breast cancer have an ultrasound once a year in addition to a normal mammogram.
