I have had a mammography 2 months ago for a breast itching, it come out that it was just ordinary eczema associated with the menopause. I was giving steroid cream and emollient. It worked for first days, I stopped the steroid and now the breast started itching again and I have noticed that my bra is dirty with yellow sticky stuff, I think it looks like a discharge from my nipple but the nipple looks fine and nothing comes out when I pressed it with my fingers, but I am very frightened, is it possible to develop cancer of the breast in 2 months? thank you for answer Yes. Discharge from Nipple is one of the symptoms of Breast Cancer. Please see your doctor immediately and arranged to have proper evaluation again.
Please not the following are the symptoms of Breast Cancer in which your above symptom is also included -
In the early stages breast cancer may be asymptomatic and women may notice only a breast lump. As the breast cancer progresses the cancer cells can invade in to the surrounding normal structures and other distant organs and this may lead to development of symptoms. Any one or more of the following may occur during various stages of progression of breast cancer.
* A lump (mass) in the breast, these lumps are most commonly painless (or as a matter of fact any other part of the body)
* Swelling or thickness of the breast
* Redness, swelling and or pain in the breast
* Lump in the arm pit area due to the spread of breast cancer to the lymph nodes in that area
* New mole or an obvious change in the appearance of an existing wart or mole
* Areas of warmth or redness in the breast
* Development of asymmetry of the breast
* Inversion or changes in the appearance of the nipple
* Flattening or indentation on the skin of the breast. This may indicate a change in the underlying structures.
* Scaling or redness or a change of color or texture of the skin of the breast or Areola (such as dimpling, puckering, or scaliness)
* Unusual dimpling in the breast which may indicate adhesion to underlying structures
* Discharge from the breast or nipple. This can be clear, dark or bloody in nature.
* Burning, itching or scaling of nipples.
* Pain or tenderness in the breast or underarm area. If this does not relive over time possibility of breast cancer should be considered

Please see my blog in web link - http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-wHph4Fg7e... for further details. Best of luck. Yes that can be a sign of breast cancer, I was not sure at first but I looked it up. I would call my Doctor. When I was working at a clinic, and I don't mean to scare you by saying this, but there were 2 or 3 different women that had recently passed a mammogram with flying colors that noticed a small lump and it turned out to be cancerous, evidently the mammogram had missed it. You definitely need to be checked, do not play around with it. Any changes in your breast should be checked out but I think it is highly unlikely it's cancer simply because you had the mammogram so recently. It sounds more like a blocked pore or duct but go to your doctor urgently. Good luck if you are worried about cancer of any kind,start taking some vitamin E the natural kind.not the synthetic. you also need to do the cleanses, begining with a colon cleanse. your body is toxic and that is the cause of most of our health problem. go to www.naturalcures.com to find a good natural cure provider and stop worring, that only compound the problem Now that the itchiness has returned, is there an associated rash? Have you been scratching it? Is the skin broken?
If you have been scratching it, and have broken the skin, the yellow discharge could be from infected or healing wounds.
If it is nipple discharge, yellow discharge can be a sign of a blocked milk duct, which may have not been seen on a mammogram.
Follow up with your doctor. S/he should send you to have either a breast ultrasound or a procedure call a ductogram. |
