Anyone had recurring cysts in breasts?

4 replies

My sister has had enormous cysts come and go for the past 8 years or so. Each time it's a visit to the GP, referred to hospital, a scan/mammogram then drained.

She has large natural breasts and it is not only worrying, but an awful time waiting, being drained, waiting for the next one.

This time however, she has a particularly troublesome one. The GP gave her anti inflammatories for 2 weeks and she's just been referred again. BUT also, this time, her nipple has become inverted. In the same breast as the cyst. The cyst is not behind the nipple.

I'm really bloody worried it's more serious. Don't know what I'm asking really. Reassurance of sorts I guess that inverted nipples can come hand in hand with recurring cysts?

I didn't want to read and not write but wanted to wish your sister and you good luck. HOpefully her referral will come back soon. I haven't heard of cysts pulling in nipples but I have only had one cyst which was drained so no expert.

Please feel free to popping onto the Tamoxifen thread. Great even if you just want someone to hold your had while your sister's results come back but also the girls on their may be able to offer some views on the inverted nipple.

Sorry excuse my awful typos 'hand' 'there'

Thanks for the reply Gracie :)

I will take your advice and C+P this in the Tamoxifen thread.
