breast testing
I found a lump in my breast, and my pediatrician confirmed it to be a cyst. I was referred to a specialist doctor for tests to make sure it's nothing bad. I've never been to a breast doctor before, and I was just wondering what kind of tests they will be doing. I'm guessing a mammogram and palpation. Anything else? Maybe blood tests?
I'm not worried about showing my boobs to doctors, I'm just a little apprehensive about the "testing" they will be doing on me. No need to comfort me, and yes I do know that breast cancer is rare in teens.
Thank you.
I'm 16 by the way.

Well I cannot be sure, but sometimes they want to do a needle biopsy of the cyst.That is not fun. But most likely not. Some cysts are just filled with fluid and can be aspirated. Caffine can cause cysts, do you drink a lot of caffine? I had cysts from too much caffine once, a lot of them. I stopped drinking it and they went away.
If you do, let him know, and then maybe you can take the easy approach by cutting back on caffine and seeing if the cyst goes down or away completely.
Good luck to you
