Last year a mass was found thru mammography in my left breast.it bothered me a lot.?


after a year another mammo was done also untrasound, & it showed benign features.2 months ago as i examined my breast and pinched it, a tiny crystal clear fluid came out.it alarmed me.just about 2weeks ago again mammo & ultrasound was done, the mass remained unchanged. i was advise to a yearly mamo & ultrasound. 3days, as i examined my breast, again tiny crystal clear fluids comes out if i pinch them. im worried about this. can u help me be clarified? i know only if a milk like fluid comes out, sound no good. but what about this crystal clear tiny fluids coming out of my breast if i pinch it..please enlighten me. awaiting your reply

The chances are the lesion is benign- intraduct papilloma or some other benign lesion. Depending on your age. My suggestion is to go see a doctor; usually a fine needle aspiration which is almost painless will clarify the issue.

One approach is 'triple assesment'

1. See your doctor/physician. He should be able to take your medical history including family history and risk factors for breast disease. He will also be able to perform a *clinical examination*.

2. Continue with mammography and/or ultrasound

3. Pathology studies. Removing all or some of the 'mass' for investigation in the lab. Discuss with your doctor or a breast surgeon.
