Hello!
i was recently told I need to have a full milk ducts removal on my left breast.
i am 37y and i first notice nipple discharge while in the shower in march of this year. I wasn't very alarmed but still decided to get it checked.
went to my GP and referred me to the breast clinic. I had my appointment in April, just ultrasound and blood tests, breast smear.
they said everything looked fine and said I should have another check up in a couple of months. June came and was told that I needed surgery and other smear was taken in the day. During my appointment I was told that it could be an infection of the milk ducts.
a couple of weeks later I was called back for an appointment and the dr diagnosed me with papilloma. They said epithelial tissue was found in the smear and it will be best to remove it.
i did a bit of research and found that papilloma is like a wart in the milk ducts but nothing was found in the ultrasound and due to my age I didn't have a mammogram.
i am currently more confused than ever waiting for my surgery date. Anyone else dealing with something similar?
This situation just made anxious and I feel like someone is grabbing me from my throat.
