After finding a lump in the lower part of my left breast, I had my appointment at the breast clinic nearly three weeks ago where I was told they were 'pretty sure' it was a galactocele. They numbed me and then tried to aspirate the lump but no milk/fluid came out whatsoever. I was told I'd have to go back in 6-8 weeks. Whilst leaving I asked if it was anything to worry about for now and the lady said 'I don't think it anything to worry about at all but I would like to see you again'
I am sure for most people this would have been a satisfactory visit but I think I am suffering with chronic post partum anxiety (I had my baby girl 11 weeks ago) and just cannot shift the feeling that they have misdiagnosed me. The lump seemed to disappear for a few days but has come back the same size, if not bigger and of course I feel like im now experiencing multiple other symptoms such as a dull ache, dizziness etc! I am not breast feeding, and I never did but my milk did come in around 3 weeks post partum (I ended up having a ceserean) so I'm wondering if it's even possible that it's a galactocele?
I'm going back for another appointment next week as there's no way I can cope with the not knowing for another six weeks. Just wondering if there is anybody else out there who has had a galactocele that wouldn't drain? Trying my absolute best to be positive and trust in the doctors but these hormones are making it hard work!! I pray that it's nothing serious.
Thanks in advance xx
