What Causes Pea Sized Painful Cyst Above Left Nipple?
Question: Hi! I have a pea or dot size feel above my left nipple. It gets sore around my period then the soreness goes away. I'm not sure if the pea goes away. I do a breast exam and when I put my finger on it lying down , it's not on my finger when I'm sitting up. I'm not sure if it moved. I had breast Aug 5 years ago.
Brief Answer:
hi and welcome
Detailed Answer:
This is obviously some simple breast cyst or fibroadenoma and it typically changes during periods because of estrogen effect. There is need to worry about malignancy but it would be smart to do ultrasound just to measure size of it so that it can be followed in future. If there will be sign of inflammation then it can be surgically removed but this is not necessary at this point.Wish you good health
