Q: Breast Pain/tenderness 6months After Hysterectomy

asked by: RedHawkslilone on November 10th, 2005

To whom it may concern...

June 22 of this year I had a full abdominal hysterectomy, they did leave my right ovary however due to my young age, I am 27 rather than slamming me on hrt. Since then i've been noticing that my breasts are extremely sore and tender.. Especially the region directly behind the nipple and areola, I am beginning to get concerned. But is this a normal thing? If so.. Is it temporary? And i've done self exams and in that region sometimes it feels a lil irregular but if I go to press into to examine.. Its very painful. Anyone else out there with this problem? Please help me.

Thank you
~~lilone

Breast Soreness

My dr said it is normal to have breast tenderness around the normal time of your period. If you did not have a total hystercomy. Hope everything goes ok...

Breast Pain

I also had a hysterectomy 6mos ago. I too still have both of my ovaries but I notice everytime I wake up from a nap or in the morning my breast ache. It started with just my right breast ( under to my armpits) but now I experience the same shooting pains in my left breast. I am very concerned and have been doing self exams and luckily I don't feel any thing abnormal.

Sore breast

I was just told that after hysterectomy that you can develop fibroid tumors or cysts. I had a total hysterectomy about 3 years ago and found out that I have lesions on both breast. So yes you can have pain and soreness around the breast and armpits. I hope this lets everyone know some answer. I'll find out more when I take some test.

breast pain

I had the same pain aout 6 months after my surgery. I had a total da vinci. I was given full testing and everything was fine. The dr said that breast pain was normal post hysterectomy specifically near the areola and armpits where there are more nerves.

Breast Pain

I had a hysterectomy 3 months ago. I kept my left overy. I am only 4 days a month without terrible breast pain. I am considering having the other ovary removed. I am so tired of being in pain. My doctor said it could go away on its own or it will stop when I go through menopause. I'm 46 and really don't want to deal with this another 3-5 years. I am due for my annual mamogram and have to wait for the "4 days" of no pain so that I can do it. My doctor also said that primrose cream could help. Haven't found it yet.

breast pain after hysterectomy

I had my hysterectomy 3 months ago. I kept both my ovaries. I have very severe breast pain and my doctor has told me to take 100mg vitamins b1 and b6 and primrose oil. Its a lot to take but i am starting to feel a bit better. i still have the pain but its just when i am ovulating which i take some anti-inflammatories at that time. it seems to be working at the moment and i feel good that i am taking natural products.i was also told to ease off caffiene, alcohol and smoking.

I wasn't able to keep my ovaries, but had the same breast pain as you do....I, too, was told to ease up on caffeine...It eventually went away...I think this is kind of part of a Hysterectomy and your body adjusting to the new you....

Breast discomfort after hysterectomy

I had surgery as well, have my left ovary. Before surgery, I never had breast pain when ovulating. 3 o 4 months after surgery I started experiencing occassional breast pain which may last a whole month. They are more rounder, (positve thing about it --lol) I feel they weigh more when I wake up in the morning. I asked my doctor and he says its normal. I guess since we do not menstruate the body needs to express its self in some way. Right now I have the discomfort. It's better than the nightmare of menstruation!

breast tendernest after hysterectomy

I thought I was crazy with this breast pain. My Doctor a male was booked when I called to schedule an appointment regarding this. He sent me to one of associates a female I thought good a women. Wrong, she look at me like I crazy when I told her about my breast. I am glad I found this website. Why don't doctors tell you about this before surgery?
