Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 44 years old and suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. I cannot walk, so my son lifts me every day and takes me to the restroom. He holds me tightly while lifting. I have recently noticed a lump on my breast, which is red, and when I press that, a white-colored liquid leaks out of it. I do not experience any pain or discomfort. What should I do next?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
The symptoms you are experiencing are not suggestive of rheumatoid arthritis. The breast lump looks like a galactocele, which is a milk-filled cyst. I suggest you avoid squeezing it. It would help if you get an ultrasound of the breast done. It can be cured by the needle aspiration method.
Thank you.
