Can’t keep anything down after surgery

Lalalovestoread · February 2018

Here's a little of my history...

I am 36 and I've had Nipple discharge in one duct on my left breast for 6 months. I was sent for a mammogram, ultrasound and everything looked great.( Birads 2) So I was relieved and thought it was maybe just some weird hormonal changes. My youngest child is 6 yrs old and I bottle fed her , so I was skeptical when my family dr said it was mastitis. He tested the discharge and it wasn't mastitis. At this point I went to a specialist and she sent the discharge to be tested and it's came back as Atypical cells. She sent me for an MRI and it came back normal as well, but the radiologist recommended surgery to remove a dilated duct in the 6 o'clock position due tothe cytology results.

I had surgery yesterday ( Happy Valentine's Day 😜) and they ended up removing 2 dilated ducts and sending them off to pathology.

Now the reason for my post...I am miserable. My pain is not as bad as yesterday , which felt like someone was twisting my nipple with pliers 😱, but I am vomiting every time I drink or eat anything. Can't keep meds down, including my anti nausea meds. Has anyone experienced this? Does it get better? At what point should I call my dr? Thanks ladies for listening to me whine. Crossing my fingers for benign results

I think a call to your Dr. is in order. If you can't keep the anti-nausea meds down, perhaps he could prescribe you a suppository. Good luck!

Definitely call your surgeon ASAP.

Thanks ladies! I called my Dr and she thinks I’m having a reaction to the anesthesia. I’m sipping liquids now and haven’t thrown up for about 4 hours. I think I’m finally on the mend..

I has the same issue after my excisional biopsy. I was much better day 2 after the biopsy. Hope you feel better soon

I feel so much better now , thanks for the concern! Now is the worst part....waiting for results from Pathology. I’m thinking I might have to wait an extra day due to Presidents Day on Monday. It’s certainly hard to be patient

I’m jumping in here late - Lalalovestoread, I hope your biopsy came back benign!

I had issues with nausea and vomiting. Mine started about 7 hours or so after surgery. I did talk with my surgeon and she said it was probably residual from the anesthesia. Apparently they had to give me a lot! Luckily I’m feeling much better on day 2, and now I’m just taking Advil for pain
