A member asked:
Can mammary duct ectasia cause a lump or bump on the nipple?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
As you know, duct ectasia happens when a milk duct beneath the nipple widens, its walls thicken and it fills with fluid. The duct can then become blocked or clogged with a thick, sticky substance. This can result in a lump or thickening in the nipple or areolar region. Have your doctor or provider evaluate with a history and exam and possible imaging to help confirm this diagnosis.

Feel lumps in breasts close to nipples. Not rock hard, but also not squishy. They seem to move a bit. I'm breastfeeding and dr says it's milk ducts?
Had a clogged duct for over a week. Lump is closer to armpit but disappears about half an inch from my nipple. I've had clogged ducts before and they really hurt but I'm able to get rid of them within 24-hours. This time I don't have any pain and nothing
26 years old. Clear sticky single duct nipple discharge when expressing the nipple. Small amount maybe a drop or two. Texture of discharge is sticky. Is it likely breast cancer? So worried & anxious. Had breast exam in May & obgyn said no lumps felt?
