Question: Hello I notice a lump on my right hand breast under d Breast and am breastfeeding but my baby has refuse to suck the particular breast for almost  3 months  she only sucks the left breast Even though the right hand breast has a big nipple May it be a sign of cancer
Answer: Good day madam the lump on the breast can be caused by a variety of reasons Although the main reason in this case might be blockage of your milk ducts due to excess buildup of milk caused by lack of usage of that breast by your child The best remedy is to pump the breast milk into a clean feeding bottle with a breast bump Alternatively  you can also gradually encourage the baby to feed from that breast However if the lump persists please go to a lab to have a mammogram of the breast done and we will take it up from there
