Lump after pregnancy

Good morning, 

 

I have rather heavy breasts that aren't as pert as normal. I've not breast fed baby and she's nearly 11 weeks old. I've got a slight raise in my skin on the left breast doesn't necessarily feel like a lump and I can lift the skin. It does feel easier when I've not got my bra on and when lay on my back I can't feel anything it's just when I've not got my bra on and my boobs aren't as supported. I'm really nervous about ringing the gp can I request a female doctor? 

  • Hello EmJ12345, 

    Yes absolutely you can request a female doctor so do give your GP a call and mention that you would feel more comfortable if you could see a female doctor. Your body goes through so many hormonal changes during pregnancy that it may be linked to that but it is important to talk to a doctor about this and that they examine you. 

    I hope your appointment goes well! 

    Best wishes,
