@Ms maths: I would go to the doctor that does your annual exam if it doesn't take any longer to get in with them than the other. For me that's my OB GYN. I don't think it matters which you go to first as either would refer you for diagnostic tests.
I hope everything is ok!

I would go to my OBGYN since they do routine screenings as part of my annual.

I noticed a lump a few years back when I had to switch the type of bcp I used. Due to my insurance, the only person I could see initially was a CPN, who is also the person who does my annual and serves as my PCP. She did an exam and thought it was fine, and indeed it went away after a few weeks, so I didn't need to be referred. If I could have, though, I would have probably gone to an OBGYN.

Good luck, hope you get answers soon...

Definitely OB. I had a large lump for like a year during breastfeeding. It's actually really frustrating to get seen during lactating because they don't typically do screening for lactating moms, but I am high risk for breast cancer so eventually I got to the right people:place. They did a breast ultrasound along with a manual exam and decided it was probably fine and to recheck in 3 or 6 months or whatever.

Either should be fine. They will send you for imaging. It is preferred to have it done someplace that is familiar with reading images on lactating breasts, but you may not be able to find such a place (I couldn't around here).
