I have a lump under my left nipple. Blood and pus come out of the nipple. It hurts.

PAST HISTORY : I had a serious breast infection that started to go septic about 5-6 years ago. The same thing is happening again

Patient asked followup Question: 12 years ago

Could this be a sign of cancer. When this started 5-6 years ago they thought I had inflammatory breast cancer. They took a biopsy at the same place I now feel the lump. When this happened last time my breast looked like an orange peel. What can I do about this? They never found out last time. They ended up lancing it to remove the infection.

Hi,

A blood discharge from your nipple can never be normal. However pus might be due to simple infection or it may be something else and you might be confusing it.

The cause of bloody discharge might
- Breast Cancer
- Duct pappiloma
- Fibrocystic disease of breast
and the orange appearance you described me is a typical appearance itself of a cancer,so i would recommend you to just confirm your pathological reports twice from different labs and might take 2 different opinion from 2 doctors because it can be serious.

To confirm, various tests might be performed like biopsy,ultrasound or an mri might be done to do that.

My left wisdom tooth has been growing in side ways, but has not been able to come in fully. It started hurting about two days ago. I did not think anything of it and thought it was just growing in more. There was a flap of skin/gum covering part of the tooth. When I went to brush my teeth this morning, I noticed that part of it (underneath where the skin covered before) was now a blackish color. I got a sore throat and swollen lymph nodes only on the left side of my throat around the same time my tooth started hurting. Are these related? I have a dentist appointment in a week. Is there anything I can do to help it to make it better or ease the pain? It hurts to chew on that side of my mouth and it hurts when I swallow. Will my tooth be okay until I get to the dentist and what will be done by the dentist? Do you think my tooth is infected? Will I have to take antibiotics?

Hi! The only blood test that can show whether you are pregnant or the previous abortion was an incomplete one is a serum beta hcg -this checks the hormone for pregnancy in the blood.If less than 5 ,then pregnancy is negative. A normal gynae check up can reveal past pregnancy only if earlier pregnancy led to an incomplete abortion which can be made out by an ultrasonogram of the pelvis or the serum beta hcg.Otherwise no doctor can make out whether you were pregnant in the past and have taken abor ...

About 5 years ago I noticed a dramatic reduction of the muscle mass (Muscle atrophy) in my right calf muscle, like 75% to 80% reduction compared to my Left calf Muscle (possible the gastrocnemius), I also noticed that my Achilles is also very loose, when in a relaxed state, compared to the left leg. What could be the possible problems? There is no pain (other than uneasiness like restless leg syndrome) associated with this problem. I do have a lower back problem (damage) that was done 30 years ago to the L4/L5 herniated disk. Now I have noticed that other muscles are starting to harden and reduce like the one did 5 years ago. I went on a 15 mile hike in the mountains this past summer and I am very active during the day. However I do not regularly exercise as I should. Thoughts?

Many endocrine disorders can also cause myopathy such as thyroid , parathyroid , adrenal disorders , Diabetes , Vitamin - D deficiency etc. You need to go to your nearest doctor for clinical assessment . Moreover other blood ...
