breast lump after nursing

Try nursing first from the breast with the lump, apply warm compresses before nursing and massaging in the direction of your nipple and see if the lump goes away after a few days.If the lump persists,then it's better to have your doctor examine you to also make sure that you don't have an infection. All the best...

It started in the last few months of nursing my first child, continued after nursing, during my second pregnancy and again during nursing my second child. A few months back upon weening my second child the pain in this area became much more intense and then returned to the "normal" level upon completion of nursing. I have had two ultrasounds...the first was inconclusive as I was still nursing and all they could see were the milk ducts, however, in the second they fould a cyst.

When my daughter (middle child) was about 6 months old, and nursing I found a lump on the left side of my left breast. I went to the doctor, then to have an ultrasound...they referred me to a breast specialist. By this time I was so frightened that I could not wait to have the biopsy. The biopsy was cut short because as soon as the doctor pierced the skin his syringe filled with milk. I was very relieved! I just wanted to share, do have it checked, but try to relax and think positively.

So I'm currently experiencing a very tender and sore breast. I can feel a lump and after googling have come to the conclusion it's a possible blocked milk duct. When searching how to unblock it, it's telling me to nurse my baby to flush the blockage out. Well I'm 27 weeks pregnant so nursing my baby is impossible. Has anyone had this whilst pregnant and managed to unblock it? It's absolute agony!

my british bulldog as a lump on her breast when expressing milk a green gunge comes out al well

Now I have noticed that my nipples are flat on one side and further out from the breast on the other. Can these be signs of breast cancer or are they just nursing related issues? Oh, and years ago I had a swollen lymph-node under my armpit but it eventually went away. I don’t know if that has any relevance.

It could just be a clogged duct which is terribly painful but excess nursing on that breast should dislodge it. Can you feel a lump at the redness sight?

I started having breast pain on the left side while nursing my second child.My breast seemed to not be expressing the milk well--just one or two streams. I did all the treatments for clogged milk ducts/mastitis, but nothing really helped. The pain would come and go, but my breast never expressed like it had with my first baby. My left breast became noticably larger than my right. I thought the pain and swelling would go away after I stopped nursing/pumping.

First of all there is no blood test that will show the existance of cancer. Peeling isn't really a sign of breast cancer unless it were IBC which doesn't have the symptoms you describe (no lump). The nipple peeling may well be due to some of the breast feeding problems you had. A lump associated with breast cancer wouldn't come and go either. Keep that appointment but relax a little, OK ?? Regards ...

I found a lump on my right breast while breastfeeding my 8 months old baby. I went for a mammogram and the doctor told me to stop breastfeeding in order to do the biopsy. I breastfed all my babies and having problem giving the bottle to the baby. If I can, I never wants to give a formula to my baby. On top of that she is allergic to milk and soy . Any advice? Thanks.

I did have a lump after my son was born at was from breast finding and I got it removed like 8 years lader!! At never want away by its self at was nothing to worry about jest my dockter said u should remove it jest in case at my become samthin!!

It does not hurt at all and my nipple looks to be caving in slightly compared to my other breast. About a week before I noticed the lump in my breast I noticed a lump in my armpit but it went away after a few days. Other than feeling a little tired lately I feel fine. I went to the doctor on Monday and he thought that it may be an infection and recommended I use warm wet compresses on my breast for a couple of weeks to see if it will go away.

Now There is a lump and after finding it two weeks ago it is a little larger. I went to the doctor today and he said that it is not a cyst- it was small but deep and that it wasn't a swollen lymph node. He wasn't sure what it was but didn't think I needed to be concerned. I do have a history of breast cancer in my family but he didn't think it was that. Just a little while ago, when I was feeling the lump, clear sweet smelling discharge came out.

I recently found a lump about 2 months ago Ive been thru 2 periods with it. I did end up going to a breast surgeon he suggested waiting 3 more months to see if it will go away bc he believes it to be a clogged lobe/duct in the gland tissue(?), otherwise he will do a breast MRI. Can milk really linger that long in a lobe if I stopped awhile back? What can I do to make it go away?

Hi All, I am 34 years old and recently lost a lot of weight b/c I am eating better and exercising. I noticed on my left breast on the side there is a marble size lump. I went to the doc yesterday and she said it looks like a fibroadenoma. She recommended me getting a mammogram and a ultrasound. here are my questions. I prefer to only get a ultrasound not a mammo b/c of the breast cancer risk. Are ultrasounds pretty good in detecting if something is cancerous or not? 2.

My youngest child is 11 so it has been quite some time since nursing. Although they were always a little different since nursing 10 years ago, lately it has been quite significant. I have not begun treatment yet as we are still trying to find out how extensive everything is. All I have had was the excisional biopsy without clean margins. I had a MRI and BRCA last week and am getting ultrsound this week based on the MRI findings. It looks like there are other quadrants involved.

I also notices a red lump that has a small white spot on it on my right nipple. I got really worried about it yesterday and called my doctor who order a diagnostic mamogram, I had my last one done a year ago November with normal results. I have an appointment for Jan 5 and I'm now very anxious about this. Can someone give me an idea of what this could be? It's very painful to the touch.

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?

ve read a couple of thread discussing breast lumps and what not and I am becoming very concerned. About a week ago I noticed a lump on my right breast that was very hard, about the size of a silver dollar that I can feel just above my nipple. The only other time I have ever felt anything like this on my breast was when I was nursing my son (but that was all over both breasts from filled milk ducts). But that's what this one spot feels like.

For those who read my other posts about the issues with my cycle and the pain I had last week, plus the breast lump I developed during pregnancy that hasn't gone away...I went to the doctor today so here's my update: He's pretty sure that the lump is fibrocystic breast disease. Most likely caused by the large amount of caffiene I take in. The lump has been there just over a year and has not changed in size or anything.

Im a 20 year old female, a couple years back I experienced a lump in my breast, i went to the doctors, had it checked out, and was told it was "binyne" I dont know, they told me it was just fatty tissue, about a year later the lump gets bigger and starts to hurt every now and then.

Hi i had my baby on the18th of octber and i been pumping my milk and my breast are currently engordge i think there really swollen n heavy like reLLY HUGE WHAT CAN I DO TO GET THEMBACKTO NORMAL I BEN PUMPING EVERY 2 HOURS SOMEBODYPLEASE ELP

I had this 6 to 7 years after nursing. In the literature, many women get it more than 6 yrs after first pregnancy. So you're normal. I had a huge lump with recurrent subcutaneous abscesses. Drainage never worked. They used to open spontaneously and there would be a channel which will fill up over time. Was given no steroids as surgeon said there was not enough evidence. Was given multiple antibiotics over 6 months, had terrible autoimmune response of fatigue, breathlessness etc.

The lump in your breast sounds slightly alarming to be perfectly honest. Normal bumps and lumps can be caused by ingesting a lot of caffeine, but they feel like continual little rivets all around your breasts. An overall single lump though should be looked at by your doctor just to make sure it's really nothing.
