Did anyone experience breast pain due to hormonal imbalance? I am 30 and no children yet. Went to breast surgeon with severe pain and few swollen/ lumpy kind of stuff in both the breasts. Doc did a physical examination and confirmed it’s due to hormones. I asked for an Ultrasound but she refused saying it’s not required as she is sure it’s hormonal thing. Anyone had or have similar issue? TIA!

I’ve heard before that you could ask them to note in your medical record that they are refusing to perform an ultrasound if they push back - generally most will just go ahead and do it instead of making the paper trail

Can you get a second opinion? I’m not a doctor obviously but it seems wild that they would refuse an ultrasound

I am planning for this. Meanwhile, thought of looking for any similar experience here. Thank you!

Sorry, no experience with that but definitely get a second opinion. Knew someone from high school who got a rough diagnosis very young so the doc should at least give you peace of mind and be thorough.

I’d find a new dr. I had no pain but a lump at 28 and my pcp ordered the ultrasound from the breast radiologist/specialist. She thought it was fine but if course did the ultrasound to be 100% and to have imaging for comparison should it change.

By “hormones” they most likely mean breast cysts that can get larger during cycle. It is quite common, but definitely worth getting a second opinion- large ones can be very easily drained (guided with ultrasound). Occasionally, it can also be an infection, especially in smokers. Worth investigating further

Did they run a hormone blood panel or just diagnose via examination?

Then how do they know it’s just hormones? I would definitely find a new doctor.

Had a talk with the partners Thursday, they said I’m not producing enough work at the end of each day. First year associate, new area of law, wfh so they are more “what are you doing every second”.

While I appreciate their honesty, I feel like they consider me severely indebted to them that they hired me mid pandemic and “allow” me to work from home.

So, this is a little embarrassing ...but as I get older my facial hair grows in darker and more quickly. I'm pretty much doing some plucking every day, this is common among the females in my family. However, I have the extra problem of those pink bumps former all over my face after plucking. So, I either have dark facial stubble or it looks like I'm battling adult acne..often these overlap some. Any suggestions on how to remove these facial hairs around my lips and chin without the bumps?
