What Causes One Breast To Get Larger Than The Other?
I have noticed over the past 8 or 9 months that my left breast is groeing larger than the right. It is not painful, or red, just that it seems to be getting bigger. I am 54 and my last period was about 6 or 7 months ago and was basically just spotting
thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com.....
well can you tell me whether it is getting bigger in any specific quadrant?...or it is growing overall?...is there any lump like feeling when you palpate your breast?...is there any puckering of the skin above the breast or any discharge or ulceration of the nipple??
kindly get back to me with the answers and i can tell you further about your diagnosis...it looks like a benign swelling but cannot be confirmed until examined properly and investigations are done.... you can go to a GENERAL SURGEON for further information also....
hope this was helpful.... regards
