Mri core biospy 4 weeks ago

Posted by jeaniem @jeaniem, 1 day ago

Mri found intraductal papilloma that was causing unilateral spontaneous clear nipple discharge. At 4 weeks post biopsy, I am now having dark blood discharge. I see surgeon tomorrow for follow up of an infection from the biopsy. I am having the papilloma removed in 2 weeks. Is this normal for healing? A prior mammogram biospy I had years ago was fine and healed quickly.

Hi! @jeaniem:

I am so sorry for what you've been through for the past 4 weeks:( My prayers went out for you upon reading your post...

I am not any expert, but the symptoms that you described worried me! Is it possible for you to see your surgeon today, or at least send your care team some message via patients' portal? For as far as I know, this kind of procedure should only cause some minor swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the site, which usually resolves within 7 to 10 days. weeks is a long time to endure suffering!

Best wishes for you on the journey ahead!

Thank you for responding. I see surgeon today, hopefully she will assure me, makes me scared to have the removal surgery! I had to wear a compression wrap home from the biopsy instead of the compression bra I brought with me. They thought I was on blood thinners but I am not. My platelets and other blood markers are fine.
