Q: What should I do if I feel a ball in my breast? The fact is that I have been breastfeeding the baby for a year now. Recently, purely by chance, I felt a strange ball in my breast that moves under the skin. Could this ball appear in connection with breastfeeding? Do you have an online consultation by a mammologist? I can’t come to the hospital yet. Thank you in advance!

This “ball” in the breast could appear during breastfeeding, it’s called “galactocele”. In this situation, don’t worry too much. After the end of the lactation period, do ultrasound of mammary glands and contact a mammologist. It is difficult to assess the situation online.

Question 1

For half a year the temperature has been constantly elevated to 37 °C, blood tests show an increased content of eosinophils, erythrocytes and leukocytes. What could it be? Thank you!

Tretyakova Lesya Alexandrovna · Accepted Answer

Temperature of 37.0 is considered normal. Elevated level of eosinophils indicates an allergic reaction. Increased content of erythrocytes and leukocytes - there may be different options. Therefore, it is necessary to make an appointment with a therapist for a more thorough examination and additional diagnostics.

Question 2

Hello. Two years ago, I had a sharp pain in the scrotum, after which it sometimes continued throughout this time. About a year ago, during palpation, I felt a lump on my right testicle (about 1.5-2 mm in diameter) similar to a bubble, all this time it did not change in size, the testicle did not increase. A couple of days ago, I noticed a slight increase in the inguinal lymph nodes on the right side, in comparison with the other side, the differences are minimal, they do not hurt. Could you please tell me what to do?

It is necessary to see urologist on an empty stomach to give a blood sample for oncomarkers of the prostate, ultrasound examination of scrotum and for palpation.

Question 3

Hello, I have a problem, I have a growth on the penis frenulum; it is quite large and my sexual partner noticed that during ejaculation, sperm came out with blood. Could you please explain to me what it is and how to get rid of it?

Eroshenko Igor Aleksandrovich · Accepted Answer

First of all, you need to make an appointment with urologist for examination. Most likely, the appearance of blood in the semen is associated with inflammation of the prostate gland, and its inflammation may be associated with infection that somehow got into the penis urethra. To do this, it is necessary that the doctor refers you to preliminary tests and, based on the results, prescribes treatment.

Recently I noticed that one breast became larger than the other. There was a difference before, but now it became clearly noticeable. I'm starting to worry, I had problems with hormones and now I don’t know what doctor to see, is it a question for the gynecologist who treated me or to a mammologist after all?

Hormonal diseases can cause asymmetry in the mammary glands - in very rare cases from early childhood. In this situation, you need a consultation by mammologist and, possibly, later by a plastic surgeon.

Question 8

I have a rash on my body, the cause is not clear, perhaps it is hives. The other day I drank a couple of glasses of orange juice and the next morning my whole body was covered with large red spots and they were even on the scalp. The spots were very itchy, but in the evening everything went away, as if nothing had happened. I am not allergic and eat citrus fruits all my life and I have never had such a reaction. I would like to receive online consultation by a dermatologist, is it possible?

Tominets Oksana Vasilevna · Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, allergic reaction is possible to all existing food products, medicines, household chemicals, etc. Allergic reaction can be of immediate and delayed type, therefore, n allergic reaction is not immediately possible to previously used products and medicines. However, what you are describing in detail is most likely a food allergic reaction for which you need to take therapeutic measures. Considering that all exotic fruits and vegetables are repeatedly processed with special substances, allergic reaction can be unpredictable to the products that are already familiar to you. Therefore, if you notice the rash symptoms, consult a dermatologist immediately, incl. online.

Question 9

I have a question for the doctor, can you please tell me if I have a large mole on my neck, is it worth removing it and how safe is it? I heard that it is better not to touch or pluck moles at all, is it safe to remove a mole at all?

Tominets Oksana Vasilevna · Accepted Answer

A large nevus on the neck skin is not a direct indication for removal. There must be a number of reasons for such a procedure, namely:


	chronic traumatizing of nevus by a patient himself/herself;
	doctor revealed signs of malignant degeneration of the nevus;
	psychological discomfort caused by neoplasm.


It is important to note that the removal process itself is not the start of pathological changes in the nevus, because the doctor preliminarily examines it by dermoscopy method and therefore can provide a detailed assessment and prognosis. And finally, the final diagnosis will be confirmed by histological examination of the removed material. The latter is necessarily carried out by a certified laboratory and is a confirmation of the doctor&rsquo;s diagnosis.
