Hard pipes/tube near nipple

Hi   I'm 8 months postpartum and I have what feels to be a hard tube/pipe near my nipple. I'm assuming these are milk ducts? Should they be hard? I never breast fed. I've an appointment with the doctor but I'm panicked with worry 

 

Thanks  

  • Hello and thank you for posting again.

    I'm afraid that we cannot say what , if anything, is the matter. You are doing the best thing by making a GP appointment to get checked out.

    As you know the breast goes through a lot of changes before and after a child's birth even if you did not breastfeed. The information from Breast Cancer Now about this might be of help, you can see it here 

    Waiting to be seen I know might be difficult so I hope you have some support.

    Take care,

    Caroline
