Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had a lumpectomy 5 years ago. Lately I have felt sharp pains intermittently. I also acquired a collection of fluid in the breast over time, and the fluid in the area is mostly solid. My last mammogram was 10/16. Should I be concern because I am very concerned.
From your medical history, I see that you are suffering of breast cyst. Sometimes, they get infected and antibiotics are required together with anti-inflammatory meds.
Although your last mammogram was 10/16, I still recommend to consult further with oncologist to evaluate the actual changes in your breast. You need also to set a follow up strategy with oncologist too.
No need to get concerned, just consult with oncologist and take the appropriate prescription meds.
Wish fast recovery.
