Title: Drawing sensation in breast
Post by: Flossiemac on August 31, 2015, 07:27:44 AM

Hi
I'm 53 and it's been over a year since my last period.  Over the past week or so Ive had a 'drawing/pulling' sensation on my left breast. Has anyone had anything similar or know what it could be ?

Thanks

Hi Flossiemac, yes I have had similar sensations and it turned out to be a cyst, but you still should get checked out, for your own peace of mind.  Have you had a Mamogram recently?.....
  So pop along to your doctor , instead of worrying ......I am sure it will be nothing to worry about.

Hi Flossie,

I get recurring boils/cysts on my left breast (fully checked out and that's all they are), and I always get that pulling feeling before they come to a head. Like the others say though, always worth getting it checked for peace of mind. Any breast issues get quick hosp appointments, mine was within a week!

Hi
Thanks for replies. I had a mammogram about 8 months ago - all ok, can't feel any lumps, bumps etc.  Will make an appointment with doctors  :)
