What Causes Lump Next To The Nipple?
i have just had a baby nine weeks ago, for the past few weeks i have been falling asleep constantly even when walking im constantly shatterd even though the baby sleeps right through the night and i get at least 6 hours. i have been sweating like mad had nausea vomitting headaches and migraines, i had blood tests taken to check if i was anemic and to check the thyroid and iron levels they all came back normal i also have one breast that is sore and tender with a large lump (spot?) next to my nipple. i dont know if these symptoms are linked but do you have any idea whats wrong with me?

welcome to Health care magic.
1.No The symptoms are not related to each other - there is no direct link.
2.Lumpyness in the breast is usually seen in few post pregnancy causes - but symptoms are like heaviness and lump feels with pain 2-3 on the scale of 10.
3.But in your case you are saying tenderness and sore with severe pain are seen in the abscess cases.
4.So needs an ultrasound breast get done, which will rule out weather its a lump/ductal dilatation/lactation related/abscess.
5. only after that one can jump in to a conclusion.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
