Hi ladies,

I have had an issue going on for the last month, more like 5 weeks now with my right breast so i took myslef off to the dr as it was not getting any better and she has sent me for an Ultrasound - i have a red mark on my nipple that actually looks like it's filled with milk ( a blocked duct ??) and it's causing me some amount of pain, the pain comes and goes but when it's there i cant touch my breast at all

Dr thinks its a blocked duct and i will basically just have to put up with it (her words) until i finish feeding, my question is -Is this right ? From what i have googled it says a blocked duct usually only lasts for 24-48hrs , im into my 5th week so could it be something else? Why would she be wanting a ultrasound? Could it be something more serious ? Oh i dont know i'm at a loss, i have no idea what i can do to help this so if anyone has any information they could share i would be extremely grateful.

Regards
Westy xx
