Pea-sized lump in breast naval
I have a pea-sized lump under my right breast naval. It does sting but only intermittently. I noticed a pain a couple of weeks ago under the full breast. Since then this little node has appeared under my right breast naval. I am going thru a divorce and wonder if it is caused by stress. Also, I am having sweating during the day and that's when the stinging of the node occurs. I am fifty, do you think I am going thru the change and this is a symptom or something I should be worried about? thank you
Hi,
How are you?
You can continue with warm compresses. Apart from that you can wear a good support bra as it will keep your breasts more secure and reduce the discomfort.
Also in the night try not to sleep on the affected side, this will also help reduce the breast discomfort and keep the swelling down.
Do let me know if you need more information. Take care and keep us posted!

Hi,
I have seen a change in the lump and could use your advice if you don't mind. It is still firm and fixed. I put a hot compress on it and the pain has dissipated a bit. I am noticing that it now has a canal leading off of it that seems to be swollen. I am really thinking that I have a clogged mammary duct. Any home remedies you could suggest? I will not have health insurance till Aug. 1st.
thank you

The lump is firm and fixed. I am not on hormone therapy. I will have health insurance by Aug. 1st so I will schedule an appointment then. Think I will try a hot compress as well.
Hi,
What is the consistency of the lump? Does it move or is it fixed?
Are you on hormone replacement therapy?
This lump could possibly be an abscess due to breast infection or mastitis, however other possibilities like breast cancer cannot be ruled out completely.
I would suggest you to schedule an appointment with your obgyn and undergo a thorough breast exam. You may also need to undergo an ultrasound or a mammogram. Meanwhile you can take OTC painkillers for pain. Do keep us posted!
