hello, am 31 years old a mother of 2 i delivered my 2nd a month ago i am breast feeding plus bottle feeding my baby so am not giving him my breast regularly .. i had breast implant a year ago ( almost ) i felt a lump about 1 cm in my upper inner side of the left breast only .. on exam it is a bit painfull .. shall i worry ? and is there any way to know wether it is a milk cyst or not ?
it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a breast or a general surgeon, for clinical evaluation. based from your description, it could be mastitis or a breast inflammation secondary to breast feeding. it could also be due to a cyst, a fibroma or a fibroadenoma which are all benign breast lesions. other tumor lesions such as malignancy must also be ruled-out. diagnostics such as breast ultrasound and a possible tissue biopsy may also be recommended. management (medical and/or surgical) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
