What Causes Spots Under The Breast While Taking Birth Control Pills?

Posted on Wed, 8 Nov 2017

Question: i have endometriosis stage 4 and been on birth control pills continously for the past 3 yrs but prior to that I was on them monthly having period for 20 years. the past few months I have had major sinus drainage and yellow phylum I also have had a cough. For the past month tho I have had a spot right under my left breast that doesnt move. the spot when I sneeze or cough has a really sharp pain. sometimes the pain becomes more of a sore feeling when I lift my arms or I twist other times its not exsistant. I have also had severe heartburn with everything I eat.. I was wondering what this could be the pain yesterday was pretty sharp when I would move or breath in bit today its barely there it has been doing this for over a month.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for posting your query here.

Welcome to HealthcareMagic,

I will analyze all your points below.
I read your question completely and have understood it well...

Please note:

1. After reading your history, I feel you are having some kind of abscess or cold abscess.

2. Usually, it bursts outside of the chest cavity and can produce such symptoms of mass and pain as you mention..

3. I would like to investigate further...

4. Please get a soft tissue scan of that area. With this, we can know what exactly it is...

Hope this helps you.
In case you need further assistance, please contact me back.
Do get with the reports,

In very rare circumstances, you may need an MRI scan... We shall see later (based on the primary investigations and how you stay later on)...

Regards
