microcalcification lump and nipple discharge

I have a lump of microcalsification and bloody nipple discharge, how can these be related?

Hi,

A nipple discharge is significant and needs to be investigated further if it -
- is persistent,
- comes out without squeezing the breasts or any stimulation,
- is bloody or foul smelling or altered,
- is associated with a lump, nipple or skin changes etc.

Microcalcifications are tiny specks of calcium in the breast tissue that need to be investigated further to rule out cancer.

The microcalcifications if large or clustered are usually biopsied for a confirmed diagnosis. Most calcifications are usually benign.

Carry on regular breast self examinations and report any abnormal features to your doctor.

These microcalcifications would need to be investigated further to rule out cancer and come to a probable diagnosis.

This is the normal course of management in most cases of microcalcifications. A biopsy would need to be done to come to a confirmed diagnosis.

Nothing can be said for sure without the biopsy reports.

Can you post us the mammogram report here?

Do let us know what your doctor tells you.

Hope this helps.

Regards.
