welcome to Health care magic.
1.No The symptoms are not related to each other - there is no direct link.
2.Lumpyness in the breast is usually seen in few post pregnancy causes - but symptoms are like heaviness and lump feels with pain 2-3 on the scale of 10.
3.But in your case you are saying tenderness and sore with severe pain are seen in the abscess cases.
4.So needs an ultrasound breast get done, which will rule out weather its a lump/ductal dilatation/lactation related/abscess.
5. only after that one can jump in to a conclusion.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
