Nipple inversion

Hello,

Any advice welcome as im very anxious and worried waiting for my two week referral to come. I recently noticed my right nipple has become more drawn in than normal. I went to the GP who examined me. Of course my nipple popped right out as soon as i had to undress! It also pops out when touched or cold. Anyway she said that she couldn't feel any lumps or bumps or swellings but was referring me for a mammogram. I only had a mammogram last year just after i turned 40 so it feels overwhelming that something could of developed in just under a year.  

Anyway what i wanted to ask the doctor was that if a nipple can be stimulated outwards or does so of its own accord when cold , does this mean the likihood of it being cancerous is less? Does an inversion due to cancer mean a nipple is permanently drawn inwards and cant be teased out? I'm so worried. I feel like i can't wait the two weeks and then have to wait for results. Im supposed to be going on holiday on the 11th of September but feel i can't go now because i won't relax. Anyone had similar nip stories?!

  • i'm not a doctor but there is plenty of cases of this where hasn't been anything sinister can happen with age to i've also got to wait 2 weeks for an appointment at breast clinic as i have had sore breasts and found a lump above my nipple under my arola feels round and fixed which is so worrying such a long time to wait please let me know your outcome wish u all the best 

  • The waiting is the hardest part isnt it? I'm driving myself crazy with worry. I can't sleep and my head is going a mile a minute. Do you know if when you are referred for the scan you then have to wait another two weeks for results? I dont think i can cope with more waiting. Its too stressful. 

    I really hope you have a good outcome too. Keep me posted 

  • hi no i'm sure it's not that long i'm sure it 4 days to a week i'm sure they send results straight to doctor to i will of course let u know when i have had my appointment and let u know my results try not to worry though could be anything xx
