My SIL was just diagnosed with breast cancer at 31, 18 months postpartum, and they thought the lump was just a calcification, they did a biopsy and it turned out to be cancerous. I would say if it isn't better after another month go back and demand a biopsy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clogged-duct-or-infection-a-long-time-after-weaning#post-2796707 Fri, 12 Jan 2018 18:21:06 +0000 Corduroy 2796707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JMOM: Mine are nowhere close to totally shut off. Which is making a really nasty environment for the inverted nipple. Like if your belly button also made tiny amounts of milk. I’ll keep an eye on the lump. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clogged-duct-or-infection-a-long-time-after-weaning#post-2796676 Fri, 12 Jan 2018 16:12:00 +0000 JMOM 2796676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: I'm glad it turned out to be something treatable. Although if the lump doesn't go away it would probably be worth a mammogram, just for peace of mind. Sorry if this is TMI but I stopped breastfeeding 4 years ago and I can still get a tiny bit of stuff out of the side that I had the lump removed so I don't think they just shut off when you wean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clogged-duct-or-infection-a-long-time-after-weaning#post-2796650 Fri, 12 Jan 2018 14:46:33 +0000 Corduroy 2796650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JMOM: Thanks for your response.</p> <p>I just got out of my appointment. I could tell the nurse taking down my info was prepping for a mammogram/biopsy conversation. Fortunately the doctor thinks it’s a slight fungal infection. I’m supposed to wash my nipple in dilute hydrogen peroxide and use an antifungal like tinactin if the hydrogen peroxide doesn’t work on it right away. I hate this nipple but I’m relieved it’s just more nipple issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clogged-duct-or-infection-a-long-time-after-weaning#post-2796446 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 18:12:26 +0000 JMOM 2796446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About a year after I weaned my first I found a lump, I had a biopsy and it turned out to be benign. Mine didn't hurt but the lump was large enough for me to notice it. I'm not sure what doctor I went to first, but I think the obgyn is a good choice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clogged-duct-or-infection-a-long-time-after-weaning#post-2796400 Thu, 11 Jan 2018 14:39:14 +0000 Corduroy 2796400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My breast with an inverted nipple has been bothering me for about a month. I weaned over a year ago. This morning I picked DS up and the weight of him against my breast actually hurt. I can feel a small lump under the nipple. I made a dictor appt with an OBGYN tomorrow. Anyone deal with breast stuff way after weaning? Did I make an appointment with the right doctor? </p>
