Nipple bleeding after benign biopsy

Cortnilin

hi everyone. I was hoping someone might be able to tell me if my symptoms are common or not.

a few months ago, I sought treatment for my right breast that was extremely itchy (not the nipple, the actual breast). When seen, they found a mass in the upper/outer quadrant. After mammo and ultrasound they were having a hard time identifying if it is one mass or two masses sitting on top of each other. At 35 years old, my breast tissue is dense. They treated it as one mass and took extra core samples to test. They Called yesterday and said it was a fibroadenoma. three days after the biopsy, i now have fresh blood seeping From my nipple (the breast that was biopsied). The first two days after the biopsy were uneventful. The blood appears to only be coming from one duct. It isn’t a large amount, only enough to produce red dots inside my bra. Normal or something to keep an eye on? I’m not usually one to worry and I trust my doctors. Just not sure what to think as I have never had bleeding like this.

Cortnilin - First, congrats on your benign results, and welcome to Breastcancer.org! Hope you get responses from other members soon. Have you asked your doctor about it? Looks like it could be something related with the intervention, but better to have it checked out!!

Please, keep us updated on how you're doing!

I would think it is from the trauma of the biopsy, but you need to call your doctor.
