breast fybrosis benign? has anyone had this before??

Question

does it hurt to get a biopsy done? im a little worried

Answer 1

I have had a couple of them. Yes, it does hurt after the surgery. I had a lump in 1994 and I was just numbed and remained awake during the removal. It was a fibroadenoma. It hurt so much that the Tylenol with codeine they gave me didn't work. I wound up taking Extra Strength Tylenol too to make the pain tolerable.

I had 3 more removed at the same time in 2000. I was put out for that one. It didn't hurt as bad but I had Darvocet instead of the Tylenol with Codeine. I only took 2 of them total. I think it really depends on where the biopsy is and how deep it is. My first one was deeper than the last 3. I have breast pain throughout the month anyway.

All of mine were benign. They told me that since mine hurt, they weren't worried that they would be cancerous. They weren't. It is better to be safe than sorry. I will pray yours are benign and that you have little to no pain after it is over. Best wishes to you. May God Bless you during your new year.

Answer 2

The only part of the biopsy itself that hurts, is the numbing shot. It is just a little pinch and then a couple of seconds of a burning sensation. Once the area is numb, they do the biopsy. You shouldn't feel a thing.

Once the numbing goes away, you may have some soreness, but it shouldn't be too extreme.

If your fibrocystic breast disease is painful itself, the biopsy is nothing compared to the pain of the disease itself.

Good luck.

Answer 3

no a biopsy won't hurt you. they will just take some tissue from your breast so they can test it. I just had it done and it didn't hurt.
