Bleeding in the breast area.

[babebatista]

Hi everyone,

I'm still finding things out everyday which affect my illness. Both the Fibro and the M.E. I wanted to ask a sort of personal question. I've started bleeding from my breasts. It's happened a couple of times now and I did see my doctor and she said if it gets worse then go back, but it cleared up. So its returned and its bothering me. I've made an apt to see my GP on monday but I wondered if anyone else had this or a similar problem? Thank you in advance for all of your help.

Hi there,

If I were in your shoes, I would be back at the dr's tomorrow and get a referral to a breast care unit. I think something like bleeding from the nipples needs attention promptly, not to frighten you, but just to make sure you get to see someone who can tell you exactly what's going on. Bleeding like that is not normal, so I wish you all the very best and hope to hear good news from you very soon.

why on earth didnt they refer ya to breast clinic the last time... i was only leakin breast milk and boobs bit lumpy and the refered me straight away only took less than 2 weeks to get app as the breast clinic as ya have got to be seen within 2 weeks of referal. pls pls go back asap dont wait till monday. still cant believe ya doc didnt send ya the last time. i do hope its nothin serious hun... mine came back as a fibroendenoma (begign lump) and they was leakin cos my prolactin level was tummor level so i was checked lucky that came back fine as it was the domperidone i was takin (anti sickness) that caused it x i can now only take cyclizine as its the only one that doesnt cause a prolactin prob (used for breast cancer patients). still again mmy boobs are leakin had bloods ran and levels came back fine docs ringin breast clinic for me to see where i need to go but prob will be an endrocrinologist x gll hun wish ya all the best and so hope all is ok... pls let us know as i will be thhinkin of ya x and if ya docs try to fob ya off again tell em ya wanna be seen at breast clinic as that certainly isnt fibro and certainly not normal!! x x x x love to ya all big soft hug just for you x x

Yes, I agree, I am surprised they didn't send you immediately. Good luck, and I hope it is nothing too serious XG

I have to agree with what everyone else has said, get your doc to refer you, best to get these things checked x

You must always get any problems or changes in your breasts looked at immediately. That being said I have so many cysts in my breasts and what looks like a very sludgy brown blood mixture that doesn't clear in my breast that the breast clinic are more than happy to leave me with. They could not give me a reason as to why I have so many cysts or breasts filled with this yuck and didn't really know what to do. I have to have the cysts drained when they get too bad but that is all that I get offered :o)
