What Causes Abnormal Nipple Discharge And Pain In The Breast?
Question: From past two months im facing the nipple discharge and Sometime pricking pain in chest. Should I take doctor prescription for mammography test?
Brief Answer:
Mammogram should be done
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Nipple discharge can be due to hormonal disturbances like hyperprolactinemia or can be due to cancerous tumors.
Pricking sensation is not particular for any disease.
You should consult an OBGYN specialist for proper examination and get a mammogram done to confirm the diagnosis and further treatment should be done accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
