I've recently noticed a small lump under my areola on my right breast, right next to the nipple. It's kind of like a hard ball and doesn't hurt when I touch it, but I can move it around a bit. I'm feeling under the weather with a cold right now. Could it be related, or should I be worried about something more serious?

Surgeon opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm feeling like my nipples are wet and it's as if they're discharging something, but when I check, there's nothing there. Should I be worried about this, or is it nothing serious?

I started my period on January 22 and was treated for endometriosis. My doctor advised me to take Meprate 10mg starting February 7, so I did, taking one tablet daily. I finished the course on February 16, which was the 8th day, but I haven't gotten my period yet. Should I wait longer, or could there be an issue?
