I have a breast lump with white discharge. Is it serious?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 44 years old and suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. I cannot walk, so my son lifts me every day and takes me to the restroom. He holds me tightly while lifting. I have recently noticed a lump on my breast, which is red, and when I press that, a white-colored liquid leaks out of it. I do not experience any pain or discomfort.

What should I do next?

Please suggest.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The symptoms you are experiencing are not suggestive of rheumatoid arthritis. The breast lump looks like a galactocele, which is a milk-filled cyst. I suggest you avoid squeezing it. It would help if you got an ultrasound of the breast done. It can be cured by the needle aspiration method.

I hope I have answered your query.

Revert in case you have any doubts.

Thank you.
