I'm having this persistent pain in my right side nipple that's been going on for over a month now, and it's really affecting my daily life. I got a USG done, and everything seemed clear, but I'm constantly feeling tired and there's always this mild pain. I'm currently on treatment which includes Asmitha and 21 Aciloc RD Primerose, but it doesn't seem to be working. Is there any specific screening for nipple health, not just breast checks? Sometimes it feels like there's something inside the nipple if there's no pain. I've already seen more than five gynecologists and I'm really stressed out about this. I'm unmarried, and I had one ovary removed three years ago. Could you suggest the next steps for screening or treatment that might help?

Considering your persistent right-sided nipple pain, fatigue, and mild pain despite normal ultrasound results and ongoing treatment, consult a breast specialist or a dermatologist for a thorough evaluation; additional screening tests, such as a ductogram, nipple discharge cytology, or a high-frequency ultrasound, may help identify the underlying cause; also, discuss the possibility of nipple thrush, eczema, or other dermatological conditions with your doctor, and explore alternative treatments, such as topical creams or antibiotics, to alleviate your symptoms and improve your quality of life.

I'm 24 years old and married. On Saturday morning, I noticed a small pimple on my breast, and when I pressed it to remove the pus, I noticed some white and clear stuff leaking out. When I checked the other breast, it was also leaking when pressed. I've also been dealing with a cold and cough for about a month, and I've been massaging my body with oil daily from my neck to my stomach. Could this leaking be related to me touching or massaging my breasts daily? What's going on?

it can be breast abscess consult gynaecologist for the same
