breast lump after hysterectomy

I had a hysterectomy Jan.08'. Two weeks after my hysterectomy a painful lump showed up in my breast next to the nipple. It was painful and swelled up to the point where I could see it without touching it. It was very sensitive. However, it went away after 1 1/2 weeks. I am now on an all natural hrt that has done wonders for me without all the dangerous side affects of clinical hrts. What I am wondering is, should I be worried, what could have been the cause?

I was taking a shower and discovered a lump under the cease of my left breast, where the bra band is. How far down does the breast tissue go? I'm 49yrs. old with a hysterectomy, on 3mg of premarin. Had a biopsy in February this yr. of the right breast, where a solid mass was found by mammagram, it was benign. Should I be concern about this?

I am 35, had a hysterectomy at 21, I have never had any problems, I have recently been having alot of sharp pains in my left breast no noted lump. I also know that breast CA is usually painless, I dont know what could cause this its like a deep ach and shooting pain just in one breast, Any ideas?

I found a palpable lump in my breast several weeks ago. The timing was odd in that I found it about 3 weeks after my annual mammogram. I am 44 years old, my mother is a 2 time breast cancer survivor, my maternal grandmother also had breast cancer. Upon visit to my Ob/Gyn she stated she was not alarmed by it, but wanted to have an ultrasound done and for me to see a breast surgeon. There was nothing visible on ultrasound, however the surgeon expressed some concerns.

does anyone one if thats normal after a TAH because of some hormone thing going on ? ntm found lump just below the nipple . i got the burning sensation /pain 2 months after the TAH . but felt the lil lump months n months before . but didnt think anything of since gyn didnt notice it ! anyways my hysterectomy was a suscess and everything came out just fine , but like i said except this burning in left breast .

I am 54 years old and had breast cancer 3 years ago. After cut off the lump in the breast and some lymph, I didn't do the chemotherapy, and only take the radiotherapy of both breasts. Since then I didn't take any medicine due to my doctor. Howerer, I do have uterine bleeding about twice or three times a month and anemia, I took it as menopausal symptoms carelessly.

And the position of those lumps are the same with my right breast, the differents only the lumps of my left breast are thickness. Now, I have a question, everytime I had my burp, my nerve on upper of my left armpit was sore. Do you have any idea what was the caused about?

I found a lump in the inner quadrant of my left breast, abnormal mammogram finding. I had a hysterectomy at age 29, I took hormone replacements for 10 and a half years. My maternal grandmother died from breast cancer at age 32. I do not smoke or drink alcohol. What are the odds of my symptoms being breast cancer?

I had a hysterectomy at 40, benign lump removed from my breast at 43 and thyroid cancer at 46. Is there a connection?? Interesting!

It is true that breast cancer is not often associated with actual breast pain. 'Since the lump was determined to be benign it must have been either a cyst or a Fibroadenoma. Both of these are benign findings and do cause pain. Lymph nodes become enlarged for several reasons ... one is because of an infection somewhere in the body. If you are experiencing pain at other locations in your body I would suggest that you see your Dr. for an evaluation of this problem.

Hi there,When a doctor detects a lump or lumps in the breast,it is a usual routine to have a mammogram and an Ultrasound.The radiologist will let you know if the lump needs further investigation,that will involve a biopsy to find what this lump is..Try not to worry too much right now,because many lumps could be Fibroadenomas or cysts that many women have and they are of benign nature. Wishing you for a good diagnosis for your upcoming tests.Take care.

Hi, The symptoms you described do not seem to raise suspicion of breast cancer. Breast cancers generally involve a lump, the description you gave sounds confined to the skin. It would be better if you were examined by a doctor. I think you could try changing your soap and or any perfumes as well as detergent for your clothes. Why did you have the hysterectomy?

t get over within a year i got several what they think is fibrodeomas in my right breast. I have the condition ADH, and also stenosis, I am 42 menoupause, no women reproductive system because of a total hysterectomy and now I am still dealing with lumps in my breast. Is it possible that one could be cancer?

The negative MRI, mammogram and ultrasound are all comforting, and this lump can just be fibrocystic breast changes. Going for a biopsy is another question since if your doctors are not concerned about this, then it is really possible that the biopsy may just be a waste of resources. However, given your family history, I would still suggest you continue to have screening tests such as yearly or twice yearly mammograms and continue to observe your breast for any changes.

My grandmother on my fathers side had breast cancer at 44 and and her breast removed and my mother had a lump removed at 28. I am 33 and had a hysterectomy at 28 I am not on any hormone replacement. Thoughts??

I am a stage 2 breast cancer survivor of 5 years.My age is 52. I had a lump removed from the right breast followed with 4 chemo treatments and 32 radiation treatments. Currently I am taking tamoxifin and fosamax for previa osteoporosis. Within the last few years my bladder has been slowly desending to the point now where the doctor describes it as stage 4 prolapsed bladder. He has suggested a partial hysterectomy to remove the uterus and then repair the bladder and rectal area.

She has been told the lump that she has in her breast is a B1. What does this mean? She is to have another follow-up in 6 months. However, if she feels any changes when checking her breasts, she is to return immediately to the docotr. I am concerned about what this designation means. She was also told a B3 is breast cancer. Does this mean that this is a precurser to cancer and that it "could be" developing into cancer later? Please enlighten me on this. Thanks.

ve had numerous female surgeries that lead to a Trans Vaginal Hysterectomy three years ago. Two months ago, I found a small lump about pea-size behind my left nipple in the areola area. It continues growing and is about marble-size now. Other than the size change, it does not bother me and really isn't painful. Aside from changes in lump size, I've been experiencing consecutive and severe headaches and neck pain, as well as feeling tired all the time.

I am 26 yrs old and have had a full hysterectomy. For the last few months, I have had severe cramps that feel just like period cramps. I have a swollen gland just under my chin, and a lump on my ribs on the left side, about an inch ot two below my breast. For the last month I have also had some pain in the side of my left breast and into my armpit. There is also a swollen painful spot there,and my left arm constantly aches.

I ruled out any monthly cycle changes since I had a hysterectomy 6 months ago (uterus only). My OB-GYN was concerned enough to refer me for a diagnostic mammogram. I have no signss of any lumps. Is there such a thing of breast cancer without any lumps?

I am 20 years old and scheduled for an ultrasound of a breast lump under my areola. I was just wondering if the lump is found to be solid, does that automatically mean that it is cancer? If not then does the doctor remove it immediately for a biopsy?

t help but feel dissatisfied, and my gut is telling me there is more going on than fibrocystic breast condition. It is not a round lump, but irregular and elongated. Should I request other tests? I would actually feel better with a biopsy to be sure. I am 50 years old and had hysterectomy about 15 years ago due to fibroid tumors. Thank you, any help or advice appreciated.

I have never had children and had an emergency hysterectomy at 36. My right breast becomes damp on its own and when slightly squeezed milky white liquid comes out. It also itches. I have not started menopause either. I still have both my ovaries. Is there cause for concern?

From the beginning I was warned by my physician of the possiblity of breast cancer associated with estrogen, especially since I was so young when I started taking it. During an annual visit, the nurse practicioner felt a lump in my breast and scheduled me for a digital mammogram . After reviewing the images, the radiologist suggested an ultrasound.
