breast lump gone

long story short

im 24

female

i found a lump top of my right breast on 31/3/21 and went to see the ANP the next day, she said she doesn't think it's a cyst or a inflamed gland and because it's so deep and hurts me she's referring my to the breast clinic.

i now have a bruise where i felt it and because of my paranoia i keep messing with my boob trying to find it. i'm not sure whether my boob is irritated and swollen cause it's rly sore. but i can't seem to find the lump anywhere and i'm getting paranoid.

 

the lump was a plum/lemon seed size. and hard and couldn't move. but i can't seem to press down without that area feeling tender and it hurts me when i do it. i also don't want to waste the hospital's time when it could be nothing..and if it was a cyst i'm scared of getting sepsis and it's too late or something.. i'm still waiting for a call for a date for the breast clinic.

can they go at all or have i irritated the area that much my boobs too swollen to find it or am i that paranoid it's there but i can't find it if you get me?

 

someone yelp!

    Hi ya,

    The breast clinic is the best idea as will give you a better indicator and they can use ultrasound to see inside. 

    As for it disappearing, sometimes lumps can be linked to hormones and menstrual cycle. So if it was just before a period it could be related?

    The breast clinic won't mind at all and you won't be wasting their time as you have a concern about your breast xx

    hey ty for replying!!

     

    i forgot to mention i got hit in the boob monday last week.. and i checked my boobs out of random and it was hard and sore and tender... staff have said to get it checked out but my boob was swollen aka big. 

    i don't come on periods and rn i don't have mine till my sister has hers as we are kind of sync. 

    i have seen the nurse and she can feel it..

    but my boob is so sore and hurting rn so i can't find it at all!! but i did feel it abit today.. 

     

    but i will wait and check and hopefully it isn't anything!! 

     

    my nipples do go in ONLY if i haven't gotten my nipple piercings in too

     

    but i'll wait and see!

    thank you xx

    Hey that's ok. 

     

    So did the pain and lump start when you got hit on the breast? If so could be due to the trauma from that? Either way getting it checked will help you identify what it is and I'm sure its nothing to worry about x

    i got hit monday and tuesday i looked at them due to piercings n i felt it n it wasn't sore till after ppl started touching it to feel it to help me . my sister is suggesting it's either nothing to worry about or it was there but goy agitated due to the hit, i heard cancer lumps don't hurt? is they right 

     

    but i felt it and it was a lemon shaped now as it was a plum shape and it won't move, but ice stopped messing with it until my breast clinic appointment comes back

    i got referred thursday, i am abit scared it could of been a cyst and i popped it due to messing with it a lot :( 

    there is a bruise but i think it's gone down now but the bruise isn't where the women hit me (on accident and elbow) it's where the lump was 

     

    i'll just see what goes on and i'll reply when i can :) 

     

    thanks for helping! 

    ps - i've  never had period lumps , i do suffer with abcess
