Product Information

Your doctor may send a swab of the nipples to be cultured, to identify the most appropriate antibiotic to use.

Once your provider has located the suspicious area of your breast using the MRI image, they’ll perform the biopsy.The patient is advised to resist stimulating the nipples and the breasts as the problem will be self-perpetuating if stimulation is continuously applied. Approximately half of the patients that present with nipple discharge will also have a breast lump and 20% of these patients will have a breast cancer. If a diagnosis of breast cancer is confirmed, more tests will be needed to determine the stage and grade of the cancer, and the best method of treatment. You may be asked to apply pressure to the bandage for several minutes to ensure there is minimal bleeding.

Although you should take it easy for the rest of the day, you'll be able to resume your usual activities within a day.If the area to be biopsied can be felt, the needle can be guided into it while the doctor is feeling it. If it's not clear why you're having one type of biopsy instead of another, ask your doctor to explain. An MRI scan of the breast may be needed to clarify the results or assess the extent of the condition within the breast. Holding the ultrasound device against the breast, the radiologist locates the mass, makes a small incision to insert the needle, and takes several core samples of tissue.

A breast biopsy might be recommended if you have a suspicious area in your breast, such as a breast lump or other signs and symptoms of breast cancer. These clips cause no pain or disfigurement and don't interfere when going through metal detectors, such as at an airport. Changes in the nipple may be an important sign of breast cancer, and any new change should be assessed by a doctor immediately. Written informed consent was obtained from the patient for publication of this case report and any accompanying images.

Some mild pain can be expected after needle biopsy, though it is usually controlled with over-the-counter pain relievers. Having a high index of clinical suspicion, particularly in the absence of symptoms, is necessary for the diagnosis. You will feel some pressure on the breast, and it can sometimes feel uncomfortable, but it isn't usually painful. At this stage of the operation, the location of the needle was detected definitely using C-arm fluoroscopy. If nipple pain or nipple trauma is not improving, seek help from your doctor, lactation consultant or an Australian Breastfeeding Association counsellor External Link .
