Suggest treatment for a lump on the nipple
Patient: I am 18 years old and my problem is that my left breast nipple has become lumpy and sore. When I squeezed it a whitish fluid came out and a little trace of blood. I had faced a similar thing 2 months ago when I was having a missed period because of stress.I've had normal periods after that.Is the nipple discharge because of some infection? Please help Doctor: hi.it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for medical and physical examination. based from your description, it could be a cyst, a benign breast lesion. it could also be a fibroma or fibrocystic lesion. these lesions are best evaluated clinically. further diagnostic examinations, such as breast ultrasound, will be requested as needed. regular breast examination and follow-up with your doctor is highly recommended in these cases. management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly.hope this helps.     good day!!~dr.kaye
