Suggest Treatment For Swollen Nodule In Breast During Pregnancy
I have bad a nodule omg chest, right above my breasts in the center for over two years now. It has always been very small and I have had ultrasound of it. It has blood flow to it. It was recommended that I have it removed. I went to a surgeon for two different appointments for removal and both times the nodule was gone. It came back again about seven months ago. I am six weeks pregnant and in the last week it has quadrupled in size. It is hot to the touch and hurts terribly. I am 29 years old. I wonder what I can do for the pain as I am pregnant and should I get it removed? Could it be infected?

Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Lump in the breast which is increasing in size can be breast abscess, fibroadenoma or breast cancer.
I will suggest you to consult a surgeon as soon as possible, get investigated including ultrasound and biopsy, and get treated accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
