I am 25 and I have a small painful lump right next to my nipple. Its not real big but it hurts and think I may have an infection since i still have milk even though I havent breastfed in over a year and everytime i have sex with hubby I start bleeding. Have a lot going on and havent been able to go to the doctor and was wondering if any one could tell me what is going on.

The symptoms of pain and swelling in your breast sound like mastitis. It is more common while breastfeeding but can occur at other times. Mastitis simply means an infection of the breast tissue. The pain and swelling of mastitis is usually accompanied by redness of the affected areas. Also, a fever will commonly occur. Itchiness of the Areola and discharge from the nipple are also symptoms that can occur.
I suggest that you arrange to see your GP so that you can be examined. If he decides there is no infection, he will more than likely want to check your hormone levels.

I'd make the time to go to a doctor before what ever it is develops into something even worse.
Sometimes we dont go to the doctor because we dont really want to know whats wrong, but ignoring it wont help it.
Go SOON!

You should see your OB. Could be something as simple as mastitis, left over from breastfeeding. Could be a plugged duct. Definitely should have your doc take a look.

yes dear, you have a condition known as,"You need to see a doctor!". And though it's not rare, it can be contagious.
