Peri help!?

Phone your GP today, they should get you a hospital appointment, in our area it’s within 2 weeks at the Breast Cancer Clinic, they will give you an examination, a Mammogram and an ultra sound, don’t be alarmed it’s standard practice and will rule out anything untoward.

Hope it all goes well for you.

I should add that GPs these days just send everyone with those symptoms to a Consultant, quite rightly.
Your problems might indeed me Peri Menopausal, but they will want to check.

My problems turned out to be an old age ‘ thing’ , but it was a relief to get it confirmed and my GP just referred me, we have a ‘2 week wait ‘ policy for anything that might possibly be Cancer, no matter how unlikely.

Your symptoms sound a lot like mine. I'm a similar age and had an ultrasound as a result. I have some duct ectasia apparently. Very common, especially around this stage, and a benign condition. It doesn't increase your chance of breast cancer either. I didn't have the nipple discharge but it can be a sign of what I mentioned. Google duct ectasia.

I have asked for a second opinion and am seeing a breast doctor tomorrow. Getting very nervous.

Oh - and to answer your question. Yes, you should call your doctor to get checked out.

Thanks so very much for your replies!! So very helpful. Calling my GP today! Thanks!!!
