hi i'm an 18 year old girl and about a month ago i went to the breast clinic for an ultrasound because i was experiencing breast pain, swelling and my right nipple was more inverted than usual. The doctor didn't seem at all concerned. I was just given a leaflet about fibroadenoma and she didn't explain what it was.

I realise now that the breast pain was awful before possibly because I was sleeping on my right side and I was doing arm exercises. However, now that the pain isn't very bad, sometimes it is still there. What I'm concerned about is that my right nipple has become even more inverted. It is way more sunken in and it takes ages to come out. When it does come out (rarely) it isn't the same as my left nipple and it very quickly goes back in again. Does this happen with cancer?

I've been worried for months now that this could be cancer even though my doctor didn't seem worried that it was. I felt like I was overlooked because I'm only 18 and I don't have any family history of breast cancer.

So, is this increased nipple inversion a cause for concern? Could a fibroadenoma cause this to happen?
