breast ?From: Dee (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 31 Jan 2001 20:01:54 -0600 (CST)
I have what I consider very lumpy breasts, my left much more than my right and I was wondering if this is normal. I'm 42 and 3 years ago I found an area in my left that I thought was abnormal. Surgeon said no because it was soft, squishy and moveable, it's kind of oval shaped. It's still there hasn't changed and I have a mammo. every year. But it seems that breast gets more dominent lumps than the other, all of them squishy and movable which I feel makes it more diffucult to do exam each month trying to remember if they were all there the time before. It also seems larger and and little lower than the right, which I know one is usually bigger than the other but still it's noticeable to me. I guess my question is, is it normal for one breast to be more fibercystic than the other and also affect the size.? I assume if one has more cysts in it it would be larger and maybe heavier causing it to look lower. And how do you determine an area of thickening as opposed to cystic areas? My mammo's always read a moderate degree of patchy fibroglandular density, no architectural distortion --whatever that means. Thank you
