tender to the touch
tender to the touch
Brief Answer:
Was a biopsy done?
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for the query, I understand your concern.
At your age, nodules must be viewed with suspicion. I don't want to frighten you but it is better that you are doubly sure before dismissing anything.
Did you undergo a mammogram and/ or biopsy of the lesion and is it palpable or has it been diagnosed on screening mammogram. If not excision or at least a needle test should be performed.
As far as tenderness is concerned drugs are available. The cause might be duct ectasia for which surgery is a better option.
If you can provide more details, I will be able to provide better suggestions. Thanks again for the query.
Regards,
