Had yellow puss on right breast nipple. squeezed it and bright red blood followed. The cyctology report follows: Diagnosis: Negative for malignant cells, vlood and inflammatory cells. comments: The specimen is limited due to lack of ductal epithelial cells, clinical correlation recommended. WHat does this mean?

Thank you for your answer. I am not comfortable with this young, just licensed doctor. You do not have to respond to my other question about getting a second opinion on the mammogram, i did that yesterday. the radiologist said no bloody discharge is good if it happenes again to see a breast surgeon and go from there. he also said i did and could have benign mammograms and still have cancer hidden in the ducts. The doctor that i am seeing is an ob-gyn doctor and she called me also yesterday when i question her answer and she said she felt it was a "blister" on my nipple. I thought it might have been hidradenitis this is the disease i have and i get "boil" like lesions all over my body.When i mentioned this to the radiologist that i thought it was not a blister but hidradenitis he keep quiet. So that tells me he thinks it is cancerous, and that my opinion and the other doctors is not correct.
