What are the small clustered cystic areas seen in the left breast.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Nothing to worry about. Multiple small clustered lesions are benign (non-cancerous) cystic lesions. But you should also do a baseline bilateral mammogram screening (if not done early) and enroll in a breast screening clinic and a follow-up every six months or yearly as per their screening protocol.

In case you have any first-degree relatives diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer or any other cancer, then it is better to go for genetic counseling also. The following conditions increase the risk of breast cancer:

1. A family history of cancer.
2. Early menarche or late menopause.
3. Women without children.
4. Hormone (estrogen) replacement therapy.
5. Obesity, alcohol, and smoking, etc.

So be relaxed and just follow up with a breast clinic. It is recommended in many countries after 40 years.

I hope this helps you.

Kind regards.

Hi,

I understand your concern.

Usually, benign cystic lesions of the breast have no relation to the pain in the hand or left side of the back. You should consult an orthopedician, who will do an X-ray of the neck to rule out cervical spondylosis or any other musculoskeletal problem.

Regarding the breast, if you have done a mammogram, just attach that report next time.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Nipple discharge during menstruation is usually due to changes in hormonal levels in the body. That usually occurs in both breasts. But if the discharge is red in color or bloody or with smell, then it needs evaluation. Analysis of the nipple discharge plus mammogram.

Depends upon age, medical history, and clinical examination. For me, it looks like a normal nipple discharge due to hormonal changes in the body. But without examining physically, it is difficult to comment.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

I understand your concern.

It is usually a normal phenomenon during menstruation. Because menstrual blood contains mucus, vaginal discharge, and endometrial tissue, etc. Sometimes old retained blood changes its color and makes it brownish. So it is usually a normal thing, but if you are more suspicious, contact a gynecologist.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

I understand your concern.

That means it continues for a long time, almost two weeks. Then it is better to consult a gynecologist. They will examine and may do an ultrasound of the pelvis to check the ovaries and uterus. They may also advise some hormonal tests.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
