Following a breast biopsy(4, core punch type) how should my breast feel? How long will it feel swollen, etc. Thanks
A few days at least, I think. I had 6 x core punch biopsy on Tuesday and my breast is very bruised, still a bit swollen and sore etc. It is improving though. If you're getting worse or seeing any signs of infection, do see your doctor.
Hello and thanks for posting,
After a breast biopsy, the breast can feel bruised and swollen for up to several weeks. Wearing a supportive bra such as a sports bra can help.
If the area becomes red or sore, then do seek medical advice.
I hope this helps,
Best wishes,
