Breast exam: Breast examination by your doctor . You also need us and mammogram. You have already  a cyst removed. The colored discharge is abnormal and needs attention asap. Thanks.

Question 7

i have cyst-like bumps near my nipples that do not itch or hurt.  i can squeeze the white contents out but they keep filling up. scars. what do i do?

Hidradenitis: This sounds like a condition called hidradenitis suppurativa.  This is an inflammatory condition of the glands of the skin.  If they are recurrent, surgery can be done to remove the glands that get affected.  See a dermatologist.

Question 8

can an ovarian cyst cause enlarged breasts and nipples that lasts ?

Accepted Answer

NO: the cyst itself cannot cause these symtoms; however, stimulation of cyst growth can happend due to elevated estrogem, less so with elevated progesterone.

Question 9

what does it mean to have possible small cysts or dilated milk duct at the 12:30 8cm from nipple. ?

Accepted Answer

Benign findings: It means that small fluid filled areas were seen and that small cysts or dilated milk ducts could have this appearance.  These are normal, benign breast findings and no reason for concern.

Hope that helps.
