How Can A Lump In The Breast Be Treated?

For some time now, I ve been having pain in my right breast. I did an ultrasound scan and nothing was found in that side of the breast but on the left a very tiny lump was seen and I was asked to repeat in the next 12month. Along the line my breast was still producing milk and I stopped breastfeeding like a year ago, so I was asked to do a prolactin test which I did and it was 87. I was place on bromergon medication which I am on now 3times daily but I keep having headache and always feeling sleeping. Dr is the side effect right? And the left breast is still paining and feel so full. What should I do?

Hi,

1. The possible cause, in this case, could be ductal ectasia ( dilated ducts). Next possible cause is adenomas - mass lesions, lastly cyst.
2. In your age I would suspect ductal pathology - due to hormonal imbalance, cyclical issue.
3. In this case, I would recommend you to get an ultrasound - non-invasive, no radiation scan for assessment of the lump.
4. Ultrasound will help to assess the nature of the lump, source and extensions. If mass lesion an FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology will be helpful to assess the nature of the cells involved in the process.
5. I would recommend to see your GP, get examined, investigated and needful treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
