Blood in breast cyst

Hi All,

Just back from an ultrasound to aspirate a rather large painful breast cyst. Whilst there the Dr ask me whether Id like a deeper cyst drained (suspect he was going to anyway) to which I said yes. Anyway first cyst fine - 2nd one had blood in it and slightly thickened wall. Dr said could be down to previous aspiration which was 23rd Oct (roughly 10 weeks ago). He did a core biopsy and attached a clip - this is a new one on me (have been attending breast clinic for 20 years) but he said its to make it easier to see area as I have quite a few cysts.  

If there is anything it must be relatively recent as had mammo in June then after a delay due to Covid had the ultrasound and aspirations in Oct as i mentioned just 10 weeks ago. 

Does anyone know if blood in a cyst is always a bad sign? Have asked Dr Google and scared myself as all results end in the worst scenario.

Any advice will be gratefully recieved.... 

Wishing you all well in these stressful times.

    I'm sorry to hear that you're having some problems with breast cysts at the moment. It's understandable that you're feeling a little concerned and unfortunately searching Google for answers will only lead to you feeling more anxious. 

    I'm sure if you gave our team of nurses a call they'ed be able to offer you some advice and reassurance about things. If you'd like to speak to them they're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I hope you don't have to wait too long for your results.
