A member asked:
When i press my right brest just below the nipple i feel some pain and the pain started yesterday. could it be breast cancer.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No cancer: cancer for the most part, when related to breast, starts in the ductal system and progresses to invade breast tissue with the appearance of a mass but no pain. This is followed by skin dimpling and again no pain. The latter is mostly induced by dilated milk ducts secondary to fibrocystic mastopathy. Have mammo to confirm.
