Anxiety spiraling out of control-nipple discharge?

[Carys]

Also, I just wanted to say - even in the unlikely event it is something more 'sinister', then getting to be checked sooner rather than later is always a good idea. I know it is terrifying you, and you won't want to hear this, but I think a manual examination by a professional of your breast would be a good idea for your own peace of mind.

Yes, I’d want to get thoroughly checked.

What scares me, is the possibility that something may be just a cyst or something benign, but then turn into something bad later.

Im trying not to go into the hypothetical realm.

[Carys]

Yeah hypothetical is what starts causing problems.....its natural though to want to find an answer. You have a symptom, and the human brain wants to solve the question of what it is. A cyst becoming cancerous is really really rare you know!

Carys has given you excellent advice here. The very best thing would be to bring your appointment forward and get yourself checked out by your GP who could refer if there is a need for further more specialised tests.

As for the "guilt" re breastfeeding the most important thing was your daughter's wellbeing and recovery. I can't stand these worthy people who are obsessed with breastfeeding-it puts so much unnecessary pressure on new Mums at a very vulnerable time in their lives.

Please let us know how you get on. I think you will feel better once you have been able to fix up an earlier appointment. xx

Thank you all so much. It is so nice to know that, even we’ve never met, you took the time to calm me down.

I will try to let you know what happens.

You are more than welcome. Please do update, as its nice to know how people get on. Take care

Just in case you are not well. The anxiety and stress is no good for your health. You need your rest. Your body needs it to retain strength and to heal.

Until you get your results no amount of worry will do anything except make you sick fatigued and unwell.

So please take a deep breath and soothe your spirit enough to get some well deserved rest. And keep us posted when you find your results.

I missed my period for 10 months and was never pregnant or sexually active. I procrastinated and experienced great pain. And worried non-stop.

I was examined and turned out it was just a chemical imbalance from some medication i was taking. I stopped the medication and I became regular right away.

I know its TMI but even if it were something else like tumors cancer endometriosis worrying losing sleep will only make your body feel worse.

So let's take things 1 step at a time. You will not be dying tonight. So sleep sis and i hope i was able to bring you some comfort

Thank you all again. I will be calling my GP tomorrow morning to get an earlier appointment.

Hi Mummybee,

Anxiety is a monster.

I wanted to let you know that I started another post about this because it started up again about a month later. There have been some good responses on there as well.
