Should I be concerned

by ali60, Nov 04, 2009 11:46PM
Hi All
I had a wide local excision 28 September which came back as ADH and fibroadenomatous hyperplasia. In the last 2 weeks I have noticed an increase in size of the breast, pain, reddened area which is hot to touch, ridges in several areas of the breast and nipple starting to invert. I spoke to my specialist who has treated me for mastitis but after 10 days on antibiotics there is no change at all. It is now almost 6 weeks since the surgery, should I be worried and seek another opinion?

If this is mastitis it may take more than one course of antibiotics to solve the problem. If you get no further treatment or advice from your present Physician then I would seek another opinion. I wouldn't give up on him/her just yet if he/she has more to offer in the way of treatment.  Regards ...

Thanks for the comment. I will discuss with my specialist and see what the advice is and take it from there. Thank you
