Hi guys just wondering if anyone has had a similar thing happen
I stopped Brest feeding over a year and a half ago my breast milk completely dried up and I noticed 2 weeks ago that my right boob has started leaking my left isn’t I’m defo not pregnant I checked lol and I’ve got the coil I also noticed that I have a lump in my right armpit. I called the doctor about the leaking last week she said to see if it’s still happening in a few weeks (I didn’t find the lump until a few days after

I have had similar and it turned out to be a cyst. You do need to get any leakage checked out though. They tested a sample of mine to be extra safe. If you have a lump, you should visit your GP and you will be seen within 2 weeks at the breast clinic. Don’t wait, get it sorted. You can then discuss the leakage too. For most people it’s nothing to worry about but you need to get it checked.

You need to have this checked ASAP. Its probably nothing, but you need to rule out the more serious stuff

When I spoke to the doctor about the leaking problem she said leave it a few weeks so I was going to call them next week do you think I should just wait till then and then tell them about the lump or call them tomorrow about it. Tbf I’m terrified as all the woman in my family who have died that I know has died of bread cancer I’m just a bit chicken to make that phone call

If there is a family history of breast cancer then your GP needs to know this, as this should change her stance.

If she refuses to refer you again then change GP’s as any further delay is unacceptable.

Yes call again and tell them about the lump and your family history
