Hello and thanks for your post,

I am sorry to hear about your concerns. We can't diagnose anyone on the forum but it does sound like your lump could be related to your periods, as you say that as the days go on it appears to be going down in size.  Breasts change through a woman's life time because of change in hormones and as we get older.

Hopefully when you have your scan this will help put your mind at rest. If you have anxieties about your health then do also talk this through with your GP. You may find it helpful to look at the NHS website called 'Every Mind Matters' which you can see here

I hope this helps. Try not to worry too much.

All the Best,

Catherine

Hello and thanks for posting,

If you do have a breast cyst or cysts, you will not usually need any treatment or follow-up. Most cysts go away by themselves and are nothing to worry about.

If the cyst is large or causing discomfort, your specialist may draw off the fluid using a fine needle and syringe. Sometimes this is done using ultrasound to help find the cyst. The fluid can vary in colour and range from clear to very dark. If the fluid is blood-stained, it will be sent to a laboratory for testing.

Once the fluid is removed, the cyst usually disappears. You might feel some discomfort as the fluid is being drawn off, and the area may feel bruised and tender for some days afterwards. If so, taking pain relief like paracetamol should help.

Breast cysts can come back or you may develop new cysts. The treatment for cysts is usually the same each time. You should see your GP if you think your cyst has returned or you think you have a new one.
