It is important to get it checked out, though, to make sure it's just a benign cyst. They have always been able to tell right away with mine on ultrasound. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clogged-duct-2#post-2326576 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 23:28:06 +0000 TiredmommaMD 2326576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would encourage you to get an ultrasound to make sure it's not something else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clogged-duct-2#post-2326570 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 23:10:19 +0000 Jruess 2326570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks for the responses! I really think it must be something else. I'll have to call the OB again and see if I get a different response. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clogged-duct-2#post-2326464 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 20:43:35 +0000 ldh112 2326464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Very similar experience happened to a good friend of mine - the OB sent her for a mammogram and it ended up being a cyst that she will eventually have drained. Sounds more like that than a clogged duct! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clogged-duct-2#post-2326451 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 20:36:35 +0000 tiramisu 2326451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My clogged ducts have always been super painful. Plus if you leave them clogged I think they get larger. If massaging and warm compress doesn't change the lump, maybe you can call your OB again and get it examined. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clogged-duct-2#post-2326028 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 15:28:54 +0000 blackbird 2326028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine have always been terribly painful and the skin feels really tight from the engorgement. I did have possibly a partial blockage and a bleb, but milk flowed, so there was no pain there, just at the tip </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clogged-duct-2#post-2326007 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 15:14:34 +0000 Jruess 2326007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it possible to have a clogged duct for multiple weeks with little to no pain? </p> <p>I found a lump in my left breast 3 weeks ago. I've had little to no pain associated with it and from what I can tell, the size has not changed. I'm breastfeeding my 8 month old so my initial thought was a clogged duct but never had pain. I called my ob today to see if they'd move my annual exam up to have it looked at. They suggested a warm compress and massage assuming it's a clogged duct. It doesn't seem like that is it to me but I have never experienced a clogged duct. Anyone else have a similar experience? </p>
