Injection in Breast

My wife had breast biopsy today.Doctor used long needle to penetrate her breast.she cried at that time.has anyone had this kind of experience , I like to know.

Ouch! I am so sorry to hear that your wife had to have this procedure. Did the doctor numb the breast tissue first? Hope she is okay!

I had a breast biopsy about 5 years ago. I remember there was a bit of a numbing gel applied topically, but I still felt the initial numbing injection. From there, the injections went lower into the breast tissue, but I didn't feel pain as the needle was always in a previously numbed area. I DO remember the feeling of the biopsy punch, as it snapped when taking a sample.

Outcome was a benign fibroadenoma which has since disappeared.
