Mere breast se halka Pani or white jaisa a rha or usko touch karne me vo bhot chipchapa sa hai or bhot jyada hi a rha hai kya reason hai eska

Female | 16

Light discharge or whitish fluid from the breast could be due to various reasons, including hormonal changes, medication side effects, or in some cases, benign conditions like intraductal papilloma. It's advisable to consult a breast specialist or a gynecologist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management based on your specific symptoms and medical history.

I had 2 lumps ( fiberdenoma ) on my left breast and it's easily movable ...and I found the lump on November 2023 now also it has not gone ...now I was feeling a lump on my right breast also ...and it also easily movable...not having any health issues anything like that

Female | 22

Fibroadenomas are the predominant cause of these lumps. They are caused by hormonal changes and they are not cancer. They can be discovered on their own due to fluctuating hormones when a woman's period cycles. They are painless, moveable, and without any problem. To be perfectly sure, one should go to the hospital and get it examined thoroughly. Even if it is frequent the hospital may demand additional tests. Keep in mind not to freak out but you'll require a professional check for any changes in your breasts that are unaccountable by logic.

Hi am 18 years old female...and I feel hardness in my right side breast same like as lump and pain in my both breast ... sometimes there are some 1-3 red spots rashes upper my breast..

Female | 18

You may be undergoing symptoms associated with your breast health. The hardness of the right breast that you are feeling could be a lump, which might be produced by hormonal changes or the process of inflammation. The pain in both breasts may be caused by either hormonal fluctuations or wearing an improperly fitted bra. The red spots or rashes could be a result of a skin reaction. Regarding these issues, you should ensure you are wearing a bra that fits you properly and then seek consultation with an oncologist for further evaluation and guidance.

Female | 13

One should consult with a doctor if they observe some abnormal breast changes. A swelling or hardness in the breast area could be an indicator of various situations that include breast cancer. Consult a gynecologist or a breast specialist for an exam.

Female | 27

I see that you are concerned about the severe pain in your right breast and the shrinking that you are experiencing. These symptoms might be because of cancer, among other reasons. A physical exam and imaging tests, such as mammography or ultrasonography, are essential to identify the root cause exactly. Such checks will aid your doctor in setting the path for the procedures you will have to undertake.

মহিলা | Ruma

You may have the usual fibrocystic disease in both breasts. This means saclike structures filled with fluid and more tissue in your breasts. You may feel breast pain, lumpiness, or swelling. It is not cancer and is common among women. For symptomatic relief, it is good to wear a supportive bra, minimize caffeine consumption, and take pain relievers. Always monitor any changes, and do regular breast self-exams.

The need for radiation depends on the type of surgery done and the histopathological report. Your surgical oncologist will be able to advice you better.

I am a 25 years old male, So doctor i laying down i last week and as i was laying down i was rubbing my chest and felt something so let me describe properly, I have an inverted nipple my left one and it has been since birth ( just want to add that before describing what i felt) So i felt this tiny rubbry ball like thing in that left inverted nipple, it's very small, The crazy thing is that I'm 1000% sure it has been there for years i just never paid attention to it, It went to a pharmacy to ask about it and the asked, if i was feeling any pain or noticed anything unusual around that area or armpit, i said no and the said I'm perfectly alright, And yes feel no pain, no swelling, no colour change, nothing, Also i have small breast cause I'm a bit chubby, please what's your analysis

Male | 25

What you are sensing in your left inverted nipple is possibly a harmless cyst or a benign lump. Because you've had it for years without any changes or symptoms like pain, swelling, or color changes, it seems to be nothing serious. Yet, it always is a good idea to have it checked out by an oncologist to make sure you are okay.

FNAC report- Site- Left breast lump Aspirate- Milky fluid Microscopical examination- Smears are hypocellular showing few aggregates of epithelial cells with vacuolated cytoplasm in a lipid rich foamy background. Bare isolated nuclei are also present in the background along with foamy macrophages. The nuclei of the cells have uniform chromatin, regular nuclear margins with abundant cytoplasm. Impression- Galactocele of left breast Note- Kindly correlate clinically

Female | 27

It looks like the problem is the galactocele located in your left breast. This is a lump that occurs naturally when the breast milk forms a lump. It can be after childbirth or while nursing and is not harmful. The symptoms are a painless lump and milky fluid when squeezed. Usually, treatment isn't needed, but if big, it can be removed. Keep an eye on it and let an oncologist know.

Female | 34

Breast tenderness might result from hormonal shifts. This frequently occurs during menstrual cycles or with certain medications. Sometimes, it indicates pregnancy or a breast infection. To reduce discomfort, wear a supportive bra. Apply warm compresses. Avoid caffeine. If tenderness persists or worsens, consult a gyneoclogist for evaluation.

Can the Onkodeep gene test provide accurate results with 15-month-old samples for guiding treatment decisions in triple negative breast cancer patients?

Female | 75

The Onkodeep gene test is a genomic profiling test that examines the genetic characteristics of a tumor to provide insights into potential treatment options. The accuracy of the test may depend on the quality of the sample. It's best to consult with your mother's oncologist for personalized advice in this specific case.

I have a breast lump in my left Brea. Its been 20 days.There is no discharge from the breast. I had a miscarriage 4months ago. At that time i had milky discharge. The lump is brown in colour. And have little pain.Could this be a sign of breast cancer ?

Female | 31

A brown lump with no effusion could be a benign condition and not breast cancer. After miscarriage and milky discharge in the past, it is a possibility as well. Pain is one of the symptoms of hormonal variations. Nevertheless, one must visit a gynecologist for a thorough examination.

Hello sir, my wife told me yesterday that there is a lump around her breast. What further steps should I take to determine if it is cancerous or not? As of now, the lump around her breast is painless. Do I need to visit an oncologist?

Female | 41

As per my understanding your wife is having a painless lump in her breast which is the cause of concern. You consult a surgeon first and get your wife thoroughly examined and evaluated .Only after that will it be clear what her diagnosis is and the required treatment will be advised. Consult Breast Surgery doctors in Mumbai, or in any other city.

Other reasons for the pain could include an injury or an infection risk. It is important to consult with an oncologist to clarify the cause and obtain the right therapy.
