What Could Be The Painful Lump In My Breast?

I have been referred to the breast clinic at my local hospital as my GP found a lump and my breast is very painful. I have to wait for 2 weeks for an appointment but I am in alot of pain. Is there any way I can be seen sooner, either by going via A&E or by going to a different hospital for a breast check up?

Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

This could be a breast abscess or a secondary infection on any kind of lump in the breast. I would advise you not to wait for 2 weeks and go to the nearest ER to have a clinical assessment with related investigations for further management. Till that, you could go for an anti inflammatory drug.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
