Hi all,
I’ve had a pain in my boob on and off for a few weeks (since mid-cycle at least) and yesterday found an egg sized lump in the middle of my my boob, kind of behind the nipple and and slightly above. I’m 90%sure that if feels cyst like, it moves, it’s painful and appeared from nowhere so I’m sure it’s not sinister!
I’ve had one before in the other one and went through the 2ww and scanning etc so not freaking out as much this time. I’m taking ibruprofen and have a hot water bottle attached to me almost 24/7 which is helping with the pain.
I know I still need to get it checked out and I I’ll once the long weekend is over. However I’m fairly sure it’s hormone related.
My last cyst was cause by being on the pill back to back due to heavy and long periods which turns out my body didn’t like. I switched to mirena and within weeks the cysts disappeared.
It’s 3 years later, I’ve had barely any bleeding except for the first 6 months it took to settle down but recently my period has been coming back heavier. The one at the beginning of December was particularly noticeable - still not as bad as pre-mirena/pill. I think I may have had a period of sorts this week with just vaguely pink when wiping so it’s either on it’s way slowly but surely or that was it but the lump definitely has coincided with the cycle.
I’m not sure what I’m asking, just reassurance of something similar,
Aside from the hot water bottle, what else have people done to reduce breast cysts quite quickly?
Thank you x
