Lactating mother| Breast lump
I observed lemon sized lump in my left breast.(a week before) I have recently delivered in May and I am lactating mother. The lump is somewhat hard and is movable. What can it be. Afraid if it's cancerous. Whom shoud I consult .?
As you are a lactating mother, chances of any collection including breast abscess etc are high.. chances of malignancy is remote per se . Best is to consult your gynaecologist or a surgeon nearby . An ultrasonography will definitely help u in this.. it will show whether its a mass or collection or mammary duct dilatation etc
Next Steps
ultrasonography
consultation and examination by a surgeon
Health Tips
