I found a lump and need advice

Post Reply New Topic

Ok so i found a lump.....Possibly a cyst.....

I nervous about going to the docs just in case they turn round and say its a spot of cyst then i will look like a complete fool!!

I pratically live at the doctors any way for other various illnesses and feel that if i go there with yet another problem they will turn their noses up at me.

Its huge about the size of two peas put together and its hard and painful when it rubs against my clothing.

What should i do should i get it checked out of wait to see if it disappears?

Thanks

Get it checked out, of course. There shouldn't be any question about doing that.

You probably should. Since I'm a weather geek we will use weather for an example. A rainstorm can turn into a Tornatic Supercell in a blink in a eye. So your best bet is to get a mammogram.

Yeah, definitely go to the doctor's, Angel_Maria.

they'll just do a mammogram and tell you right away

I would suggest that you go and see your doctor, I have no idea where the lump is. I do not recall that you said it was in a breast, but I hold the view that any lump or odd thing which can not be explained with ease anywhere in the body should be checked.

I think that you are a bit on the young side to have been given a mamogram exam as part of a normal check up. I am not a medical doctor but from what I know they may well use mamography or ultrasound to examine the site of the lump. I am hopeful that they will tell you it is a harmless lump.

One question, have you had an infection recently ? If you have one it can cause lumps to appear in the female breast.
