What Could Be The Reason For Increase In Breast Tissue Size And The Pressure On My Rib Cage?
I am having some concerns regarding my breasts. I have been monitoring my weight and breast size for the last 2 months. Although I have not gained weight...my beast tissue has increased by 2 sizes. I am becoming uncomfortable and wonder why this is happening. I am 56 complete hysterectomy and the pressure on my rib cage seems to increase daily. What could be causing this. Please help. Keli

Hello,
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns. It is quite normal to have such type of symptoms in your age due to harmonal imbalances. Once you take harmones then everything will go fine with you. I also suggest you to have mammography or ultrasound done to rule out any other causes internally which is causing such type of pressure. Hope this answers your query. Thank you,

Normally breast tissue doesn't increase in size at this age...especially after natural or surgical menopause. ...pls see whether it is a lump that is causing increase in size or some enlarged veins on breast surface. ...also is there some kind of soreness or discharge from nipples?? Do get a screening sonomammography done to find out sny abnormality in the tissues
