Pain, warmth, and redness at biopsy

2026-01-22 06:28:56
Hello sir, iam 42 years old, I had a breast biopsy. After the biopsy, the lump has increased in size by about 2 cm. I had dried yellow discharge from the nipple on two occasions. I also have pain and heat in that breast. There is no active discharge now. I’m worried this could be due to infection, inflammation, or a blocked duct. Please advise.

Could be due to inflammation and infection. If u are diabetic ,start on oral antibiotics and analgesics. If it persists get an ultrasound done.
