Patient: Hi...I had to have my milk ducts removed due to calcification and discharge 16 years ago after my twins birth. My surgeon also biop the nipple tissue, neg. HUGE cancer risks on maternal father & mothers side. Everything from esophageal,bone,brain,prostate etc. No feeling sensation in that breast for 16 years. Over last month pain around breast,nipple-area and today thick almost solid like string pus came out with bloody discharge when examining my breast. My Hemotologist checked out site and ordered an ultrasound and followup with my surgeon for next week. Could this just be an underlying infection or possibly a pre-curser to ca. I do have scaring tissue but a lot of this came out. My Hemo Dr said he could feel something when he pressed around the area I could feel the pain. any help sugg? Doctor: Since you said pus came out along with blood, infection is a strong possibility. On palpation, underlying collection of pus or dilated ducts can be felt. but it is always better to investigate further and that is why you are requested for further tests. family history increases the risk but it doesnt mean you will definitely get cancer.
