BREAST PAIN

Hi Professional

I'm 44 years old and never give birth. I had removed breast lumps - fibroadenomas lumps twice on Year 08 & Year 09. My latest ultrasound report as at Aug'09 are as follow:-

COMMENTS:

Biphasic study shows no clustered microcalcifications/growth

Patient has multiple cysts demonstrated in the breasts. There are 20 in the (R ) and 21 in the (L). Shaded are the complicated cysts with no echogenic nodules within. Two septated cysts are recorded at 4 o'clock (L) periareolar area.

Suggest an U/S examination for follow-up in 6 months' time after your clinical review.

Recently I encountered breast pain again around the areola area. I'm very worried do my cysts turn anything wrong.
My next ultrasound appointment is on early March so should I schedule for early appointment? Everyday I do drink one or two cup of coffee with milk or tea with milk. Should the pain due to caffeine intake?

Kindly advise and thank you in advance.

Lilian

Hi Lilian,
You can certainly call for an earlier appointment if you are too worried about this pain you have,but waiting till early March is not that long await.
Some cysts contain debris or areas of solid tissue; these are referred to as “complicated” cysts. Complicated cysts have some increased chance, although small, of being cancerous. Ultrasound–guided cyst drainage may be recommended by your doctor or by the radiologist in order to relieve pain caused by the cyst or to evaluate a complex cyst further.
Avoiding caffeine (Chocolate, coffee,cola ) can ease the pain considerably.
Best wishes..and good luck.
