Tender breast

I have had, for a few weeks now, an spot on my breast that feels like a bruise. There is no evidence of any skin change or bruising. I'm concerned as from what I've read on here that this kind of thing is normally related to hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle but I've past the menopause now. When I've had mammograms before, a small cyst was found on a couple of occasions and was dealt with effectively but I never had any tenderness at any time before these were found. Can anyone throw any light on this?  

  • Hi and thanks for posting

    We would always advise people to get their symptoms or anything else that they may be worried about, to get checked out by the GP. No one here will be able to say what this may be without getting examined and if necessary, referred to a breast clinic.

    So do call the surgery - it may be an initial phone call due to the pandemic, but the GP can always invite you in for an appointment.

    I hope you get an appointment soon

    All the best
