Hi there
Im just wondering if I should be concerned still or not. I recently noticed quite a bit of dimpling on my right breast in the lower outer quarter. It is most visible in certain lights and when I lift my arm or lift my breast. There is some on the left too in a similar position but it's much fainter. I have also been having pain in my right breast on and off but I think this may be hormonal. I am 42 and breastfed for nearly 4 years and stopped just over a year ago, but still can squeeze a few yellowish drops of 'milk' out and a duct that always was blocked still seems to be!
Anyway, I went to the gp, and it turned out to be a trainee, though I wasn't told at booking. She did consult a doctor, but the Dr never saw me. They did some blood tests for prolactin and inflammation markers etc but all fine. I was given a follow up appointment, but she said they thought it was just normal breast changes as my breasts look 'symmetrical' and didn't refer me to a clinic. I'm just worried in case they're wrong... I'm not sure if a gp (esp a trainee) can tell about what's going on from a visual and touch based examination. Do you think it really is OK, or should I go back and insist on being referred?
