My advice is to contact your physician, report the pain, discharge, and whatever other breast issues you are having, and demand a mammogram be scheduled as soon as possible.
If your physician refuses, please get a second opinion.
It is not normal to have persistent enlarged lymph nodes. Lymph nodes become swollen or enlarged when they are fighting an infection.
Benign conditions that cause a nipple discharge include;
Intraductal papillomas (non-cancerous tumours of the milk duct in the breast);
Chronic mastitis (chronic inflammation of the breast);
Fibrocystic changes (non-cancerous tumors of the breast due to hormonal changes);
Mammary duct ectasia (enlargement of milk ducts in the breast);
Fibroadenoma (non-cancerous tumor of the breast);
Ductal hyperplasia (normal thickening of the lining of the milk ducts of the breast); and
Nipple adenoma (non-cancerous tumor of the nipple).
