Request a mammogram.

Hi all,

For around 3 month I've had pain in my breast. This has become more consistent, my boob is also swollen and feels heavy. My nipple has also become inverted, although reacts to stimulation and cold.

The dr wants me to take antibiotics in case of an infection but I have no signs of an infection and like I say pain started 3months ago. 

Am I over reacting to push for a mammogram?

Thanks

    I agree with Susie.  Do ask your GP to refer you straight in to the breast clinic at your local hospital.  They will look after you and do mammograms and any other investigations needed.  You know what's right for you and always trust your instincts.  Try not to worry, once they have sorted you out you will know exactly what you're dealing with.  The not being sure and constantly worrying is a lot worse.  Most of the clinics are in catch-up due to Covid so if you want to be seen quickly press for an urgent referral otherwise you could wait a couple of months to be seen.  Take care.
