>Hello, I am a 22 year old with normal menstrual cycles and taking no

>felt "grainy," possibly becuase I had a higher amount of glandular
>tissue than fatty tissue. The week after this I had a pelvic exam -
>this MD said that my breasts felt very "lumpy" and it might be because I
>drink a lot of coffee. A little more that a week before the onset of my
>period, my breasts increase in size to almost 2 times their normal size.
>They also are extremely tender and heavy. From what the doctors that
>examined me said, along with my tender, bigger breasts before my period,
>I wonder if I have fibrocystic breasts. Is this information consistant
>with this diagnosis? I know that breasts can increase in size and become
>tender before menstruation, but what about lumpy, grainy breasts that
>dramatically increase in size and tenderness before menstruation? Also,
>having lumpy breasts, how am I supposed to differentiate normal and
>abnormal lumps by self breast examination? Thank you so much.
