Bleeding nipple after core biopsy

Bleeding nipple after core biopsy

Bleeding nipple after core biopsy Hi everyone. I posted back in February about a lump in my right breast. I had a FNA which was inconclusive and then a core biopsy. The cells were benign but the consultant could nor say exactly what the lump was. It seems to have shrunk now, if not disappeared completely, but this morning I experienced bleeding from that nipple.

Is this normal a couple of months after a biopsy? Or should I call the consultant and get advice?

Thanks for any answers!

Hello Marybeth,

I would definitely seek advice if I were you, I don’t think bleeding from a nipple is ever considered “normal”, best have it checked out.

Thanks TheLollypop Thanks so much for your reply. I’ve made an appointment to see the consultant on Thursday. The discharge is now brown & sticky, not bloody so I guess that is better…

Hello Marybeth,

I hope everything goes well on Thursday, it’s a pain having to go back and to to the doctor but worth it for peace of mind.
