Today I saw my OBGYN for soreness next to my left nipple. Although there is no lump he diagnosed it as Fiber Cystic. He put me on 400mg vit e twice and tylenol for paid and to see him again in 6 weeks. Does this sound correct I did ask him twice regarding the name and I am sure that is what he says. He did say that since there was pain that was a good thing. Four years again I did have lung cancer after having a lobe removed and did not require any chemo or radiation.
Any comments
Thanks
I had a similar condition called Mondor's Disease (or Mondor's Cording). It is a benign inflamation of a vein, which usually resolves in 6-8 weeks. Ibuprofen helped ease the pain.
Dear MERVIN: Sometimes fibrous breast tissue can be described as a cord-like feel. However, it sounds like this may not be the explanation in your case. You might consider an opinion with a breast specialist. If he/she shares the same concerns as your doctor, there may be additional testing that could be done on the duct if that is what this is.
