A member asked:

What to do if i have to get a lump in my breast aspirated, and i wanted to know if this procedure is painful?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not bad: If you have a breast lump that needs evaluation, then do not be scared off by the process of apirating fluid. It would not be much different that having your blood drawn.
